A question about Re-sell Value of firearms?

[MG5150]

Hi All

My foxing/thermal setup up to this point has been a Lithgow LA102 in 223 Varmint Barrel with the thermal on top and a Bog Deathgrip tripod.

That's 4kg for the tripod and another 4.5-6kg for the rifle, depending on which thermal or scope/clip-on I run.

Since being gifted a Manbilly tripod that weighs 1.8kg I couldn't believe how much unnecessary weight I was carrying around and how much easier I found it to do a 3-6 hour paddock walk with two less kilos.

So now I'm thinking about selling the heavy-barreled Lithgow and picking up a lighter rifle (I've got my eyes on a CZ Trail in .223)

What's the expected drop in value for a 2nd hand rifle? If I've paid $2000 for it, roughly where should I be aiming to sell it for?

(I am fully aware it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it but don't want to undercut myself as I'm not in a rush)

Simply browse on a regular basis, the major firearms sites; eg. SSAA Gun Sales and Used Guns.
The constant stream of ads "For Sale" combined with the "Sold" listings will give you a pretty good indication.

What's this got to do with Clark?

Feel free to PM me the long story if it's worth sharing or I need a heads up.
