Whats a fair value on parts?

[Pyscodog]

Remington 700 long action, .473 bolt face, complete with trigger and complete box, spring follower and trigger guard assembly, cerokoted a dark gray. McMillan varmint stock, gray and black molded in colors, also bedded in VGC condition. Not NIB but great shape. I'm trying to decide if I want to part the rifle out or sell as a complete rifle. Thanks

Parts usually bring you more money. LDS

Well I guess if I price them high and they don't sell I can always come down. Price them to low and they sell really quick, you know you were to cheap.

Action $350
Stock $200

 

[Puzzaz01]

Action $350
Stock $200

I'll second that, if not correct it's pretty darn close.

How many McMillan stocks have you seen for sale for $200? This ain't Pawn Stars.

 

[JRS]

Since it's been bedded to that particular action, you would be better off not parting it out.

So what do you think it's worth ?

 

[Pyscodog]

Actually doesn't matter now as the rifle was sold at the Wanamacher this week end. But if an used B&C or used H-S is worth $200-250, a used in good condition Micky, even bedded to a Remington action should be worth more than $200. I been playing this game a long time and can't say I ever saw a used McMillan stock in good shape sell for $200, bedded or not. Like I said, it was sold this week-end anyway. Thanks guys!

So,................How much did it sell for. Looks like the advisors had it priced at 550.00. That would have been a heck of a deal.

Part it, you never get a decent price assembled, bedding comes out.

 

[Pyscodog]

$850 for all of it

 

[Riesel]

Look at all you can do with that extra 300.00. Made me smile,

Care to share the break down ? It may help folks in the future,hard pricing things on the web ,especially without detailed pics . Totally understood if you want to keep it to yourself.

 

[Pyscodog]

I sold it as a complete rifle.

It's not a secret but you sell barrel, action , and stock separately. Only issue come in when someone doesn't have the tools or knowledge to disassemble it. I offered a nice rifle to a few guys at camp and I could tell by the reactions that they thought I was trying to gouge them. I offered it at my cost to build it. I parted it and sold all the parts easily for $400 over what I offered it to them. When I was asked if I still had it the following week I told them I sold the barrel. What are you doing with an action, no one will want it. My response was selling it for what I offered you the rifle for. It took a whole hour to sell it.
