[QUOTE="D V US, post: 2884969, member: 34558"] On most modern weapons the Blue Book isn't worth the paper it's printed on, IMO. Anytime I try to make a deal at a gun show (a rare occasion anymore) and the old duffer pulls out a blue book I start laughing because I know I'm about to get a lowball offer. Gunbroker and other online sites offer up to the minute real world values. I had one guy offer me about half of what I was expecting after he dug through his blue book and then I showed him the real world market values on my gun and his, and his reply was that the internet was too untrustworthy, he went by what was printed in black and white. I politely declined his offer and asked him how the show was going for him, he said "not worth a damn, haven't sold anything all weekend." I replied "That'll happen when you use last century's technology" and walked away. [/QUOTE]
