Gun collection value
I inherited all of these guns. Most of them are still in like-new condition in the box. I was wondering what the value of these guns is?
A ballpark number would be great. S&W .357 019 B RB 2 ½ S&W .38 060 S RB 2 S&W .22 017 B SB 4 S&W .38 064 S RB 2 S&W .38 010 B SB 4 S&W .38 015 B SB 4 S&W .22 063 S SB 4 S&W .38 640 S RB 2 S&W .38 064 S RB 2 Colt .45 Semi officers Mark IV 3 ½ S&W .38 Hamerless 2 Walther 9mm WAP-64581 8664 S&W .22 2206 6 S&W .38 36 2 S&W .357 66 2 ½ 2 Shotguns 1 Proof Tested 12 Gauge 2 ¾ chamber. Single Shot. 2 12 gauge 2 ¾ Remington wingmaster model 870 |

Marty, in this case Google will be your best resource. Spend a few hours doing your homework. Best of luck.

OK, at the risk of being called nasty things and hurting people's feelings, I'll give this a whirl. Keep in mind this is partially location dependent, these are the prices I'd be interested in here in our little corner of the Northeast. (I worked at a gunshop for 6 months full-time.)

I think your retail prices for some are a little high. I recently bought a S&W 19-3 RB snub for $350 in very good condition (barely a turn line) from - of all places - Gander Mountain. You KNOW they had 30% profit in that price as well.
Values will all depend on condition and model variations, especially on the Smiths

Nice.
What a great cache of shootin' irons. Nobody else wanted them? Sometimes, it's good to outlive our relatives. Not as good as being King, though.

And I did say it's local market dependent. I live in the land where $5000 a year in property taxes for a 1400-square foot home on 4 acres is actually considered inexpensive. (We grumble about paying it but it's still cheaper than a larger house on half the land.) $500-600 is the going rate for any clean, medium frame S&W with adjustable sights. Don't even get me started on N-frames...

Only exception, the 2206. It is the all stainless steel version of the cheaper 422/622 series. I see those regularly sell in the $450 range. Jim |

I think p-990's price list is a bit high.
I mean around here revolvers just don't command those sorts of prices. I can't really price out your collection as some of those guns I truely have no idea.. but I'll ask this are you just curious as the value? or are you looking to sale? And now I'll say this. I inherited a few guns from my father when he passed away and would have to be in dire need of money before I'd sell any of them, and I would certainly liquidate my own collection first before I'd part with his. If I absolutely had to sell them to raise money I'd try to sell them to someone in the family. My advice is do not sell them, do not even THINK of selling them, Value is of no consequence unless for insurance purpose. IF you don't want them find someone in the family that does. It's a very nice collection to boot. |

If the guns are like new with the box I'd say P-990's prices are accurate if not low in some cases.
If someone can find me a good condition model 19 for $350 I'd buy one for myself and one for you. That price is crazy low. |

Enjoy your collection , in my area what P-990 agave would be a good estimate for you to go by, as stated prices vary by location and very a lot on condition .

I think P-990 deserves a big thank you. I sure wasn't going to go down that list. Even if we disagree with some of the prices he gave us a starting point for our discussions.
Thank you. |

A lot will also depend on which variation of the model it is. Some, especially older S&Ws with P&R barrels, etc. bring more than a late version.

It's a good thing that these were given to you and not purchased by you because I have a feeling that you'd be disappointed in the amounts offered for these firearms, whether they are "collectable" or not.
Being as they are S&W rather than Taurus is a good thing. Also S&W revolvers rather than S&W autos is a good thing in my opinion. You didn't get a box full of Glocks which is also a good thing. The market always seems to be "soft" when it come to selling used Glocks. Try not to sell on consignment I find this a terrible way to sell firearms and you loose money. |
