How can I find the value of handguns?

Firearms have value for several reasons\n\nRarity, quality, popularity. \nAn Armalite AR-15 is just as good as a Colt AR-15 but the Colt is worth more. It has brand name familiarity. \n\nYour H&R is likely a fine gun, but it is like the Armalite. Not that popular. I have never heard of the Armsco, my guess is that it is even less known. \n\nYour Colt in .38 Spl also has a lot of variation. Hammer or hammerless, 5 or 6 shot, the year of manufacture, the rarity of the model. \n\nThis link will take you to the Grading standards commonly used in evaluating guns: http://www.auctionarms.com/help/NRAGrade.cfm\n\nThey also are gun dealers. Try to look yours up. \n\nAlso try http://www.GunBroker.com  They are a very popular site. \n\nI have an old K frame .22 target pistol. It was my pop's and it is a fine shooter. It might be worth about $400, but I wouldn't take $4,000 for it. Hopefully the guns you inherited have pleasant memories with them as well. \n\nKeep your muzzle in a safe direction!\nLeigh \nNRA Instructor\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

If you can't find anything current at the library, check out Wal-Mart.  They often have gun pricing books in the sporting goods department. Many book stores have pricing guides and newspapers like the Shotgun News that sell uesed firearms. They can be great sources for what firearms are really selling for around that time. Value is also going to depend greatly on condition and modifications to the gun

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour only hope is either...\n1) find the receipt for your guns or\n2) go to the stores where you purchased them. \n\nChances are very good you will not be able to get the serial numbers through law enforcement. Without recording your numbers or being able to get the serial numbers you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle. \n\nGood luck.

There are a couple of other options: www.auctionarms.com and www.gunbroker.com.  If you already know how much it's worth or how much you want for it, set it up with a reserve price of that amount.  Since it's not a firearm, you should have no problems, but make sure that you list somewhere in the auction terms that the buyer has the responsibility for ensuring the item is legal in their area.

The term high quality means different things to different people. If youre refering to brand names then there are a couple options. \n\nIf you already know which make and model you want try http://www.gunbroker.com sometimes you can find a good deal there.\n\nTry police auctions. Some departments in certain states will liquidate their confiscated property.\n\nEstate/yard sales. It doesnt hurt to ask. Just because you dont see them on the tables doesnt mean they dont have one to sell.\n\nGun shops expect to pay current value. Pawn shops will often be marked over current value but they have room to dicker.\n\nGun shows are the same as gun shops but they are there to move merchandise (sometimes)\n\nDo your homework. Magazines write articles about the guns that they get for free so take with a grain of salt. The most comprehensive review source I've run across is a publication called Gun Tests http://www.gun-tests.com/\n\nDont forget surplus guns. Our govt sells some nice guns for less than current value. http://www.odcmp.com as well as a host of other sites. Try a search for surplus guns online. Gobs of reviews there as well.\n\nGood luck and be sure to take a hunter ed class in your area. Most are offered for free and will give you valuable information about guns and gun safety.

The best thing to do would be to check with eBay. You can do a search of current auctions and also do past auctions, I believe 15 days give or take a litte. This will give you a pretty good idea of what the value is and possibly some more information on it.\n\nYou could also purchase a program that can look back further than you are able to do on eBay, of past auctions and you may be able to find one that was sold a while back.\n\nYou may also want to check with an auctioneer or someone that deals with this type of thing, they should be able to give you a better idea.

contrary to the above answer, ebay will not allow firearms to be sold on their website. ebay is the most anti firearm auction site there is online! Who were the government 1911's made by? What condition are they in? If you really need an estimate for their worth, take them to a gun shop and have an appraisal done, sure it will cost you a little, but you'll have documented estimations done by a professional.
