I typically will sell whatever I bought for just a little less than I paid. My reasoning is if the atf ever came knocking, they won’t be able to make an argument I’m selling for profit without an ffl. As far as values go, it’s subjective. There is no real consensus on value that is trustworthy. A great example is jm stamped marlins. A guy that was bought for 350 in the early 2000s may be selling for 800 today, but a Glock from that same period has no bearing. Old smiths have intrinsic, sentimental, and rare(depending on model) value. I shoot a lot, but to be honest most guys, save for a few, that I sell smiths to don’t really shoot and only collect. I’ll pay more for a 10-5 5” smith than I will for a 66, because I like shooting them more. Some guys like the 66 more. It’s all subjective.</p></blockquote><p></p>
