    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

Question about "for sale" posts

Sirs,
If this is the wrong place to ask this question, please let me know.

Is it required to post a price in the "for sale" area?

I have a very rare Ruger Alaskan, with a 5 shot cylinder, in 480 Ruger.(only approx. 25 ever made.) I have no idea what it is worth, so I want to see what people would pay for it. I understand that at least two of them have sold for $1200 ea., and one sold for $1600.

Thank you,
Earl Hawkes

The Gun Show forum is for sales, not for trying to divine what your gun is worth.

In essence, what you're wanting to do is auction the gun to the highest bidder, and auctions are not permitted at TFL.

I'd suggest auction arms or gun broker.
 
Are you wanting to know if other people know what the going price might be so you can ask for a fair price in the Gun Show? Or are you trying to find out who the highest bidder is here on TFL?

If you mean the former, then you might ask in the Revolver forum. If the latter, then that's against the rules.
 
Then I'd ask in the Revolver forum and maybe ask for more specific information such as the history of why there's so few made, etc. if you don't already know. Any information gathered from fellow members might be helpful in finding out a good price to offer.

Good luck on your search.

Sir,
The reason that there were so few made, is because Ruger decided to stop making the 480's. Rumor is that they were afraid that people might bore them out, and convert them to .475's, which might have beem too much for the Ruger.
