How much should I ask?

MR.G · April 13, 2013, 09:01 AM

I would like to sell a Franchi Diamond over & under 12 gauge. It has only been used two times at a T&S range by my son, and is still in excellent condition. Have the factory hard case and papers. I don't know much about these guns, and didn't find one for sale at any local shop. Prices seem to vary a lot on O/U shotguns and having a difficult time pricing it. What would be a fair price to ask?
Thanks

Thank You. Didn't pick those up on my search. Between $750 and $939, probably $800 a good place to start?

FWIW, it's been my experience that a gun cannot usually be sold locally for anywhere near as much as the same gun would bring if sold in an online gun auction.

Competion seems to bring out the best (and the worst) in man.......

I would think $800 would be about right . Did you buy it ? with such little use the price should be close to what you paid - if a gift $800 should be a good asking price.

$ 700 - $ 750 is about right for that gun ...if its in excellent condition. If it has any issues ...or any handling marks...$ 600 - $ 700 is more likely in my area.
