Value of old/new forearm with label

samandfreckles
Hello All!

I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me in determing a value on a very old remington forearm with original label. I have it listed on auction, the # is 14872111, I have searched and searched for an item similar without any luck. This is a new forearm that I purchased from an old sporting goods store that closed many years ago. I am a single female and I have never owned a gun, (not yet anyway!) and I'm having a really hard time in finding out a price that would be fair. I'm thanking you in advance, looking forward to your input, Thanks so Much!!!!!

    Hello Alanna...

    Many of the parts that are available through Numerich are indeed new "old" parts. The other thing you must consider, is that the current asking price for the shotgun your forearm fits is only $150 +/- $50 depending upon the condition. Your $99.00 starting price is at least double what it is worth (more like triple)... why would someone pay $99.00 for just the forend stock when they can buy a complete shotgun for $150.00[?] Would you[?]

    Hello Bert,

    Ok, I've received my first lesson on firearms, lol! I admit you are right BUT do the original remington labels come with the new/old forearms?? I may need to search for a remington/empherma collector, (not sure I spelled that right)oh, and I forgot to mention it is wrapped in that old oil proof paper too. I really didn't know that they still had these parts/guns around. YOUR NOT IN OKLAHOMA ARE YOU BERT?? TIGERS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could bother you a little more, what would shotgun shells and bullets from the 70's be worth if anything?

    I shouldn't give you advice since I'm in Oklahoma... But they didn't deserve to win either of the last two games. I think all the hype of thier invincibility went to their head a month ago, and White's Heisman trophy just made it worse...

    That said, your product has a value above its value (so to speak). To the right buyer an item like that is worth a premium, likely not what you're asking, but a premium none-the-less. If someone has a mint condition #11 that needs a forearm, then your product will fit the bill. All I can suggest is to let it run the length of the listing then reduce it $20 at a time until you get hits. I'd be suprised for it to sell above $60, but then again I'm not in the market for one.
    Another few tips for ya, break up your key point in the ad, readers give up when it is all in one-run-together format like that. Also, while most people appreciate the detailed photos, they are a bit too big. Try shrinking them down a bit. People on dial-up connection might have problems.

    It matters not how many times you've been knocked down. What matters is how many times you've gotten back up.

    Alanna... Nope, not in Oklahoma... I am a USC/PAC 10 fan! They are the Co-National Champions[:)] (and I am laughing my butt off at the BCS system... it sucks!)

    The ammo from the 70's is worth exactly what todays ammo is worth (maybe a bit less because of its age). Ammo is not generally collectable unless it is something very unusual, or it is real old (anything from the 1800s through the early 1930s).
