Help Determining Fair Value of a BR Rig

[GSPV]

A close friend is getting out of short range. I'm going to buy his rig, including all his gear, from him. Some, I'm going to keep, some, I'm going to sell.

He has a Borden-built, Borden action 30 BR HV, Harrel FL die with bushing, Borden seating die, Kelbly 1" rings, 1850 BIB 112s, 4 lbs of 4198, 276 pieces of 1 to 4x fired brass, and four Neon flags and poles.

The situation is that we are close friends and I want to make every effort to fairly value everything.

The flags and poles are un-used. So, they should be valued at his cost. The bullets and powder at whatever percentage of their whole-lot cost. E.g., 8 lbs is $152 at Powder Valley. 4 lbs would be $76.

Skipping to the end of the story, how would I go about determining a fair value for the rifle? It's about a year old, 790 rounds down the tube, no special paint or anything, just clear coat over the normal molded in finish.

How would you go about it?

Thanks, Greg Jennings

Take 20% off the price of the rifle as new from Jim Borden, and you would be in the ballpark if your friend sold the rifle by itself on the open market.

Or, take 0-10% off and realize that the BIBs are (for now, with the jacket shortage) worth a LOT more than your friend paid for them, and you have a ready-to-shoot like-new rifle without having to wait for it, and you've helped out a friend.
