Thanks,

Jay, the best way is to surf the usual suspects (gunbroker, gunsamerica, gunauction, Rock Island, Amoskeag, Little John's, Butterfield's, etc), and look ONLY at sold/closed ads/auctions - but don't go by the "opening bid", asking price, "Buy-It-Now" and any unsold dollar amounts, since all they are is a seller's want/hope, or unreasonable expectation.
Look for other firearms, like the models you have, in about the same condition, and with the same features & chambering (which may make a big difference in some firearms).
That will tell you how much someone's been actually willing to pay, today (not back whenever, or when they made a score or got shafted) - because the guns are not worth a red cent until someone's willing to prove it via putting their money where their mouth is.

+1...Spot on.
Additionally, don't use "blue book" values. Even the current edition is outdated and it generally favors dealers.
