This may be too vague a question, but how do you guys arrive at a fair price for a nice sxs when you are shopping? As a relative newcomer, I read this BB religously as well as a couple other general ones. I watch Gun Broker and Guns America closely and review the auction report so generously provided on this site. The problem I am having is there is a 30-50% between what people say guns are worth and what I see guns listed at. Last night I sent an e-mail to a seller on GB regarding a 1928 12 ga Fox Sterlingworth is basically decent shape. His starting price was $550 and I asked how much higher the reserve was (since this is about what it looks like this gun should sell for). He was genuienly offended said reserve was $995 and asked me if I thought it was 1990 still. What part of the equation am I missing?
Thank you,
Dave
