Appraisal guidelines

I don't remember this. Do you subscribe to the cruffler list?

Don't feel bad, I apraised a widows husbands machine shop, made an offer on one item. Bid that exact amount at the auction and lost out to the only other bidder, someone that wanted it just a bit more than I did.

Why does Fladermyer guide stick in my head? I can't seem to google it at the moment. Am I thinking of something not related?

From your question, I'm going to assume you are not a professional appraiser or you would already know the answer.

Flaydermans is a good base reference. However regional differences will make a huge difference in price.

A lever action 3030, no matter what vintage, will get less money in California (and most of the West) than one will in the East.

A Remington 600 in 350 Remington wont collect the same amount of money in the West as it will in the Midwest

A heavy barreled 22-250 wont sell for as much in New Jersey as it will in Nevada or Aridzona.....and so forth.

Flaydermans is a good guide for "antiques"..but its not the whole story.

Yes.

I made the same post there, in rec.guns and in Dutch's Tea Room.

Dunno, I have an older Flayderman's guide, but that's mostly antiques. I'll look through it to see if there's anything on appraisal etiquette.

or you would

Nope, just one of the local gun guys.

I always wanted a Winchester lever action saddle gun. But in a 44-40 caliber rather than 30.30.

Ill see if I can find you one. Might cost you $250ish. Cowboy action shooters snag em pretty fast. Now a Marlin in 44 mag, 41 mag or even

357 mag...easier and cheaper to find.

I far and away prefer Marlins btw..if you do a google search..I wrote a

3030 FAQ many years ago that continues to get good reviews..look it up

Just had a glance at your faq. I put it in a tab so I remember to read it later. thanks Karl

Thanks, what I'm looking for isn't this recent and was from the viewpoint of the amateur appraiser.

Its 11 yrs old, but I believe it may be helpful.
