When my father in law passed last November we told my wife’s mother to get ahold of the current president of the shooting club where he had been a member. The club president came by after the funeral and gave her a rough number to expect for a total based just on what he thought it would bring at the weekly clubhouse open house until it was all sold.
He was close to within a couple of C-Notes (low).
I asked how he got his prices and he told it was an educated guess. In short, he took half of the new wholesale prices based on the club’s various group-buy accounts and other catalog values.
He said that way the stuff that tends to get overvalued is balanced by the stuff that gets undervalued.
Look up what things cost around 2019, subtract 20% and that’s going to be your top-dollar asking price. Your market remembers $20 bricks of large rifle.
Newbies and folks looking for that item will pay it, probably gladly. If you want to sell at buddy prices, subtract 50% from the 2019 regular catalog prices. Forget the current inflated prices. Even the flea market guys are hustling to sell those prices.
By the way, the club wrote my mother in law a nice letter and put up a tribute to pops. He was a great guy and everyone loved him.
