value of a .32

Question
I was wonderin if you could give me the value of a .32 s.&w. long model; number i 30-1?could you please give me a estimation on this gun?

Answer
Hi Winnie,

Without photos or some detailed description of the condition of the gun, I can only give you ranges of value based on the 28th Edition of The Blue Book of Gun Values.  Values can vary significantly based on condition of the firearm.

New in Box condition - $400
98%--$300
95%--$245
90%--$220
80%--$195
70%--$175

My best recommendation is that you have a reputable gun dealer give you a price.  Based on my experience, they will likely offer you about half of what it is actually worth.  They are not being dishonest, but that is what the markup would be on most used guns.

Hope this gives you what you need.  If you can provide detailed description of the guns condition or photos, I could probably give you a more precise valuation.

Best regards,

Doug
