While I'm on the road, my Mother and sisters are looking to sell the guns my father had left. They had a local appraisal done, but the values seem low to me. Is there a good online source for checking gun values?
What kinda guns? Can I have first dibs???? Spill it! You wouldn’t be interested in keeping your father’s guns???
I'd like to keep some, but I have three sisters and a Mom who rather have money, and I can't justify buying them now. Just trying to get the most money for my Mom. To me, the best of the bunch is a Winchester 1100 in .410 gauge. There's also a Remington model 742 .243 with scope, a Remington model 740 30.06 with scope, and two .22 caliber revolvers.
I hope they at least leave you one,you after all was his son.My old man drank so bad at the end,he had sold almost all of his guns. I only have one old sears single shot 12 ga.Ive got one of my grandfathers 22 rifles.All my cousins got the good ones,and I got the last gun left. Its nice having something they owned,and they arent worth anything,but Im proud to have them.
There is no Winchester 1100. There's a Winchester Model 11. But the 1100 is a Remington. I don't know who did your "appraisal". But a gun store isn't going to give you retail. Obviously. You'll be lucky to get 50% of retail value selling outright to a gunstore. A Remington 1100 in .410 is worth the most. Retail you might be able to get $1000. Retail on a Rem 742 is $250 to $400 approx. The 740 is about the same. The .22 revolver all depend on what they are, which you don't state. I work at a gunstore by the way.
remington made the 1100 (semi auto loading shotgun), winchester did make a 1200 (semi auto loading shotgun), trying to capitalize on the success of remington's flagship auto loader. unsure if winchester made a 1200 in .410. i know remington FORE SURE had an 1100 in .410. always had a soft spot for them.

Sorry, it is a Remington 1100 .410, and it matches the Remington 1100 12 gauge Dad gave me 35 or so years ago. The pistols are a H&R 22 revolver, and a Ruger Single 6 22 revolver.
Understood on the pricing. Would the price change if the customer asked for an appraisal for insurance vs "What would you give me for these?"
