I need to look up a couple of guns; a friend wants to sell his Ruger Blackhawk .45LC and his Beretta 96; I want him to sell them in MA before he turns in his LTC. (He just closed on a house in NH).

Anyway, the Marlboro Public Library has a Blue Book... from 2000. :(

Soon as I can get the values for these puppies, I'll be putting them up (for my friend) in the classified forum. Both of the pistols are still living in Marlboro for now... he doesn't have his safe set up yet. :)
 
I am sure someone can help ya here, but if not head over to Barns and Noble or boarders. You can walk in, check the prices and leave. But while yor there why not sit and have a coffee while reading your favorite magazine. I see people do that kind of stuff all the time.

Thanks, Darius and all who replied.

Wow, I never knew that there were so many variations on a theme for both guns!
