Hello, my name is Joe and this is my first post here. I'm from Charleston, sc. I'm a 26 year old who has been collecting firearms for a few years now. I manage a pawn shop, so I constantly see things I drool over. However, we do not get the greatest employee discounts and I can usually sell something to a customer for a better price than the supervisors give us.
Anyways, the latest thing to catch my eye is a model 15-4. It's blued with a 4" bbl in 90%ish condition and includes the original box and paperwork. I've been reading about it for the last three days so I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on most aspects about this gun. It was made in 1977 as far as I can tell and does have a pinned barrel.
Prices on firearms have to be run through the supervisor before going out for sale to begin with(very corporate atmosphere) so it's not as if I could price it for next to nothing. It was priced at 599. Compared to what gunbroker is asking, it seems like a fair price. But checking the completed auctions, they don't seem to be bringing that much in the real world.
The longer I let it sit in the showcase, the better price I can get, but they'd likely tell me $570ish for the first 30 days or so, and not sure if this is the one I should pull the trigger on, no pun intended. What are you fine folks' opinions on prices on these in today's market?
