Have a pair of Buckeyes, the 38-40/10mm and 32-20/32mag versions. Been sitting in my safe for awhile and have to go down to OK on business and thinking of dropping by Tulsa for the big show and find a dealer that might be interested.

Just wondering what they might be worth? Have the boxes and paperwork. They have been shot very little and I never did shoot them, so say 98%-99% guns I will guess.

Any help appreciated

The RENE lists them as NIB in the range of $710-$720 approximately. Used,, in good shape,, I'd say $650 each. But do NOT expect a dealer to pay that. You would do better offering them for sale here.

You did not mention if the serial numbers match up or not, or if they are a low numbered (2 or 3 digit) pair.

JM0.02,
2 digit pair NIB in "crisp" condition, with matching serial #'s }$2,400.00 - $3,000.00 depends on how low numbered.
2 digit pair LNIB in good condition, with matching serial #'s } $2,000.00 - $2,500.00 same as above.

Nice Shooters usually go for $850.00 around here, they don't stay on the table long.

It all depends on what you have (serial #) and the condition of the TOTAL package.
Best,
Terry

I agree with Contender, DO NOT go to a dealer to sell them, you would be lucky to get 60% of what they would be worth on the open market. I'm a FFL and I can tell you that if offered them to a gun dealer and They checked and they were worth $800, They would probably offer you $500. The reason, they have to resell them at a profit because they are running a business and they have to have some room for negotiation of the price they set. Pure business, it doesn't matter what they might be worth to a private collector, it is what they think they can get out of them.

Do let us know what Terry asked, we can then give you a more educated estimate of their worth. I also think that if you are going to sell them, offer them here first, Ruger owners/collectors know good guns and they would probably sell here pretty quickly.
