how much for a winchester model 1873?

Value is going to be totally dependent on what a buyer figures the actual condition to be. Very often, buyer and seller will disagree on the definition of actual condition, which can make a big difference in the actual value of the gun. Plus, there’s a lot more that needs to be known about your specific gun before a fair market value can be determined.

Placing an accurate value on collector’s guns in today’s market is very difficult. Gun prices are generally rising, overall, and the Blue Book values are lagging behind the market by at least six months. To get a more realistic view of current prices, check out www.gunbroker.com, www.auctionarms.com, and www.gunsamerica.com to see what’s selling. Keep in mind that what you see there is asking prices, and not actually what the firearms are selling for, but it will give you some ideas.

Your Winchester is probably worth some decent bucks, and therefore worth the cost of a reliable appraisal. Check out http://www.gun-appraisals.com./ This is a link to an online appraisal service that is fast, reasonably priced, and reliable. I have used them several times in the recent past, and always been happy with their service and results. Starting at $10, their appraisal would be a good step to take in placing a value on your rifle.

Once you have a reliable value, if you decide to sell it, I've had very good luck in buying and selling firearms on GunBroker.

Good luck.
