I have an almost new Walther P99 .40 in desert tan. I cant find any in this color online so Im not sure what to ask when i list it on gunbroker. Any ideas as to a fair price vs. what I should really expect to get?

Thanks!

  Can't find the "tan", but 2008 "Firearms" price book is:
  $700 = NIB
  $550 = EXC. (box and paperwork)
  $450 = V.G.
  
  2009 pricing of all guns seemed to be about +20%, and then lately they have dropped back to about +5% over 2008.
  
  Best of luck.

  This might be a good place to start the discussion:

  So for a used one in great shape like yours, maybe $450-500.
  
  Unfortunately for you in trying to sell, and James Bond movies notwithstanding, these guns have never been all the popular in the USA. Further, because of the economy, in general now isn't the best time to sell a gun.
  
  The price you should ask depends a litle bit on how badly you want to sell it.
  
  If you are sure you want to get rid of it, I'd just list it opening at one cent with no reserve (ie a true auction). You may think that's taking a chance, but actually those sorts of auctions generally generate the most bidding interest. Not only will this guarantee a sale, but you're also highly likely to get a fair market price too.
  
  I'd be surprised if you got less than $400 with that sort of auction, and I can guarantee that you won't get less than $300 (since I'll bid that myself right now, just to get the ball rolling).
  
  Personally, I've always like these p99s. Here is my (now discontinued) Smith clone with the older traditional DA/SA "anti-stress" trigger and larger decocker:
