If it's new in box semi-auto, I've seen one priced at $3000.00 + tax. If it's a full-auto, you can get triple that or more. Such a gun is not mean't to be shot if it is to retain it's value. Since it is a modern production, it's not worth anywhere near a genuine M1, but a show gun is still worth a nice figure nib.
Best bet might be to auction it off at a site where rich people buy things. It just might "explode" in value!
A genuine original Thompson can bring $25,000.00 or much more to the "right" buter. I've heard (unconfirmed) that a buyer gave $250,000.00 for a real gangster type Thompson.
