Way back when, I bought an M1-D from the DCM.  I have never used it nor fired it.  The rifle, scope and all the other its accoutrements have sat in my safe since the purchase.  Heck, I even have the box and packaging.  All items have been well maintained but I do not foresee ever using it in any way.  

How do I go about determining a value, a sales price, were I to sell it?  Where do I check, Gunbroker?  Anywhere else?

Anyone care to offer a guesstimate of the price or price range?  Assume it is in excellent condition.


ETA - Where does one offer such an item for sale?

FWIW, one similar to yours is currently for auction on Gun Broker starting at $7999, or a Buy It Now price of $9999.99

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1165249763

If it was me selling, I would wait until that one sells before listing mine.  What I would do is auction it on Gun Broker, start it at $0.01, run the auction for two weeks, and have it end on a Sunday evening around 9pm Eastern.

$7,999.00 Damn. I have one also. Have been thinking about selling it. The only thing with mine is my scope is a repo. I looked at prices a few months ago and they seem to be going for around $4,000. That guy might be holding on to that one for awhile.

About $4500. Maybe a little more with original shipping box. I know of two pristine DCM M1D’s locally I could buy. Both people want around $4500.

I think I paid around 4k when I bought mine a few years ago.

LIst prices on GunBroker are rarely a good metric.  Do an advanced search for actual sold prices, is better.  But remember, that is the absolute maximum price on the planet Earth the top one person was willing to pay, for that gun.  Meaning, that may not be what you are going to get, at all.

I've found you can sometimes get a decent starting point on Grok, if you take photos and a full accurate description.  In general Grok is a little optimistic, so drop it a bit, but it's a good starting point.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the help.

My rifle looks like the one posted by thebert, above.  

Let me go check Gunbroker for prior sales.  I'm a shooter not a seller, so the help is most welcome.

Once you figure out a price, I would post it here in the EE and on the cmp forum.

You could take it up to Gravestone or Fossil Pointe long distance gong range's, btw.  It'll suprise you how well an M1D can do against gongs out to 800 yards or so.

I wish I shot mine enough to be confident to take it to a long range like that. I'd probably miss my ass off except an occasional accidental hit.

M84 2.5x scope.  Let's just say you aren't shooting at the smaller steel.

it's a fun scope.
sometimes you forget if you're supposed to use the top of the post, or the crosshairs, sometimes you have to burn a round or two trying to use the recoil to get little flakes of the sealant off the inside of the glass too!

CMP lottery M1D should bring $4500-5000 . Having all the bits unwrapped and rifle shot will push to lower end. Make and who did the re arsenal will also effect price slightly.
