Need help getting a good dollar figure to ask for this AC45.
It's in excellent condition but I am not a P38 collector.

Take it to a larger gun show...in a case..........find the old guys with the old guns and ask for a current market appraisal.....I had gun tables for 3 years and most will be friendly and give you an honest appraisal. Best to say for insurance purposes....or some will give you the "sell it to me price".
You could also buy a blue book..........around $40........and get very detailed information on most any gun made since the 1800's |

blue books adjust very poorly to military surplus firearms.

I've learned that same thing over the years. I had someone tell me that the owner of a local gun shop was looking for a Cobray Terminator so I went in to see him with mine. He pulled that damn book out and offered me $100 and I laughed at him. I ended up getting $900 for that shotgun three days later on Gunbroker. |

Some poor bastard turned in a Prewar Walther PPK with leather rig into my LGS for $250. They threw a sticker on it for $1200, to which I gave them $960. Unbeknownst to them, it is a rare RSHA/SS issued PPK variant. Likely worth 3x more than I paid. I got the last laugh, but the poor SOB that sold it to them really lost likely looking at a gun values blue book with the LGS. |

And cheap bastards at gunshows trying to get it for cheaper. Or to sell their beat to hell gun for more then what's it worth. "Well the book says" is what I hear the most, idk what the book says this is what I'm selling it for. But it works both ways as I have picked up some sweet deals that were based on the book price and not current world prices. |

I paid $600 for my AC41 in mint condition six months ago. While I have little idea what an AC45 goes for, perhaps this will help.

Agreed, if its all correct you stole it.. AC 41s are one of the most desirable Wartime p38s. Both in maker and year. 
I paid a bit more than 600 for mine and i still feel good about it. |

I guess I'll have to come to terms with my thievery.
