What's my marlin 982s 22mag worth

Post by Daft » 06 Sep 2018, 6:18 pm

Looking at selling my marlin 982s 22wmr with a nikko sterling 4 x 32 scope in a gun bag and 100 rounds of cci tipped rounds and was wondering what i should ask for it? Rifle is in very good condition. Going into my LGS to see what they will offer or if they do consignment. Any thoughts would help prior to talking to them. Cheers

Half of what you want for it! Gun shops usually double their money on used guns. For example a mate bought a colt 1911 22lr for $750 about a month ago. He took it back 2 weeks later to upgrade to a 9mm he got $350 trade in the next day the gun was on usedguns.com for $750 again. I traded in a restored stevens model 70 miserable loader to a shop for $150 i paid $300 for and that shop advertised it for $950. I was willing to take a loss as i bought an all original one for $120 and did a like for like on another pump 22.

A dealer won't give you much, they need to profit on reselling it.
Better to put it online yourself.
