Question

What web sites can you use to find the value of a used sw/9mm handgun? I do not want to go to a pawn shop or gun dealer. Does Smith and Wesson have a book for 2008-2009 that will tell you how much your used hand gun is worth ?

Answer 1

Well, there are web sites where you can research what the market is paying for your used gun model. To me, this is better than bad info printed and published in a book that is at least a year old and sometimes more.

Gunbroker.com

AuctionArms.com

Learn to use the Search tool. Search for COMPLETED auctions ONLY, and then make sure that there were actually bids on the auction. This eliminated all the people who expect a value more than the market will pay. Then compare the condition and gun to yours.

A used SW 9mm handgun is not worth a whole lot, they are some of the least valued guns out there, many are of poor designs and the few that are good guns were sold to police departments cheap and then sold as used cheap in mass quantities, so they have some of the lowest used prices of any gun.  

Answer 2

Gunbroker.com has a link that has an appraisal web site link. I think it is 10 bucks or so. You could also go to like Borders or Barnes and Noble and look for books on firearms like the Firearm Bible or Gun Guides. I do not know them all by name.  What model 9mm do you have?
