Taking shipping into account i'd start it at 220! 0 -
May wish to check the other GB auctions and see if they sell and at what price. May wish to list the barrels seperately. 0 -
101st makes a good suggestion ... multi-barrel sets, be they Contender's or NEF's or whatever, limit the market because of the cost of the set -vs- components sold seperately.
Example: At recent Ohio Gun Collectors Assoc. meeting fella was trying to sell a Contender with 5 popular caliber barrels in 10 to 14 inch length. Had an extra grip and forends for each barrel length. All in very good shape. He started out asking $800 which was a very fair price. Just before the weekend meet was over he came back to me and asked if I would give him $500 for the whole lot, and I did. At the beginning of the meet he stopped and talked with me and asked what I thought of his pricing. I told him it was fair, but that he would probably do better selling 4 of the barrels and the extra wood seperately and suggested some price ranges for those items as well as the pistol with a nice 10" 44 mag. bull barrel on it, and to stick w/ the pistol price but offer to mount any of the barrels that he had left for the same money. Said he just didn't want to break up the set, well go figure ... when he sold it to me the set was broken, so???
I've seen NEF's in hardcases with extra barrels being offered, but very few takers and usually at less than what was already fair prices.
Research the auctions here on GB and get a feel for what the individual caliber barrels, etc., are selling for ... then decide how you want to sell yours.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0
