How much should i sell my rifle for?

Question

its a marlin 795 with a stainless steel 10rd magazine and synthetic stock it has a 4x32 scope from famous maker and i wanted to sell it how much is a good price to sell it for it is about 2 months old?

Answer 1

It's about a $100 to $125 gun

The scope may help it sell but being an off brand it probably wont bring the value up

The MSRP on that gun is only $157

$185 is way too much for new and $145 is too much used with a $25 scope http://www.anythingxtreme.com/Famous-Mak...

There are always two dynamics involved when selling an item

How much is it worth to you and how much is it worth to a buyer

When I sell my personal guns I rarely take into consideration how much it may be worth to the buyer

I list them at what I want to get out of them

If they sell they sell if not I can at least tell my wife I tried

If I am selling my sales stock I take into consideration what I paid, which is usually low, and what others are selling them for and split the difference

I typically make $3000 in a weekend selling at a show when the big established dealers may sell only one or two guns

It all depends on how fast you need to turn over your inventory

Answer 2

This Model sells new for $185.00 Dollars without scope.* You should get $145.00 for it.* I don't know what you paid for the scope, but just reduce it by $35.00 from what you paid for it originally.* Add these two figures together and that's what you should get for it.*
