I have a Remington New Model Army Revolver, serial number 64684. I need a value, so I can put it on the auction side. Fladermans says $900-$1000, the Blue Book says $1,500, the owner want's a good idea befor I list it.
The barrel and inside s of the cyclinder are mint, way better than what you see in the pictures. Function is perfect, I wouldn't be afraid to load it up and shot it.
Thanks for the help.
W.D.

  Bluebook is the unrealistic value for insurance purposes. Go with the Flayderman's value.

  Reserves are a tough sell--If you go a dollar start and 10 days,you will find out what the value is on an item like that-It will command interest-

  I have never done a reserve auction, don't like them.
  I did what nambu said, 10 days, started at a dollar. We will see.
  Thanks all for the input.

  Good job! I'm currently the high bidder but I wouldn't have bid a dime if it had a hidden reserve on it.

  CapnMidnight that's a really nice revolver considering its age, imho when not using a reserve I like to go with 14 days to get the longest period possible and the most selling potential along with a substantially higher 'Buy Now' amount especially with a low starting bid.

  imo--14 days is to much-two week auctions,,,10 days covers 2 weekends and the revolver is doing quite well[:)]
