Title: Values
Post by: vandeman17 on February 14, 2011, 10:27:42 AM: My old man has a few guns that he is looking to get rid of since he is moving and they don't really hold any sentimental value. He asked if I could take care of selling them since he will be so busy with the move and the new job and such. I have no idea how much to ask for them. Any suggestions on places to go to get an estimated value. One is like an 1860's muzzleloader so that one might be a bit difficult to find a value for.

They've got a nice search function once you figure out what everything is...
