Why are they so high?
I'd like to buy a used one and make some changes, but wat'd'fuk is with the prices 
Christ, over two bills for every single one I find locally. And that's for a basic model with the cheap wood or synthetic stock. Christ, Wally World sells it new for $209.96. Am I missing something here? ETA: Averaging about $250 |

Desirable rifles with prices magnified by myth. I gave up my hunt for a donor rifle and bought a rifle from Kidd. Since then I was able to trade some reloading equipment for an old one, I figure I have $140 invested.
The best way to get one at a sensible price is to own a gun shop and wait for them to come through the door. |

The only reason guns are the price you see them on the used market is because people buy them. Pretty simple, they are going to sell them for what they can get.

I noticed prices for used 10/22s went up as interest in suppressing .22 went up. Same thing happened with threaded small caliber pistols too. Sorta like was mentioned previously that more people just want to get more money for what they have, and someone is likely to come along and pay their price (or very closely to it).

Extreme patience and hunting over a wide radius will eventually turn up a rifle priced between $100 and $150. It might be ratty or have a rusty barrel, but that is minor. Don't rip off an old man or widow that don't know the value of the rifle, the old guy selling his stuff most likely still thinks it's worth $87, and his widow likely has no idea.

I'll pay a fair price for one used. $150-$175 is where I'd like to be on one. This $250 for a used one on the same rack as a new $269-$279 gun though, that's a joke. |

I've been looking for a used takedown model for awhile for my oldest, but they're either snapped up quickly, or near MSRP. I got lucky last week when my LGS was selling the basic TD version for $300 new. Owner supposedly wanted to get rid of the old stock so he can stick up the newer ones with the American stocks.

Older ones are better.
Some are pre-ban if that still makes a difference anywhere. |

Here used ones are $125-$145. The problem is finding them. They are so easy to sell they go from one person to the next like lightening. A guy at work says he wants to sell one, someone immediately says they will take it. They pop up in pawn shops in spurts. I've gotten good deals from time to time but once again they go fast below $150. So far this year I picked up 2 standard carbines and a stainless synthetic all for good prices with extra mags or a case thrown in. Just have to look hard. I wish I could find a deal on a compact model.

I bought a used bull barrel 10/22 with a Hogue stock, (2) OEM 10 round magazines, and a scope mount rail for $245, I think? I thought that was a fair price.
The bone stock 10/22 goes for around $200 these days. That's plus local tax or FFL transfer. |

I have one used that I'm considering letting go for $300 in the EE. After you add the BX25 trigger, Tech sight set, and Lasermax plus it's a Ruger Anniversary model, that is very fair for being used.

Some people think older ones are better, like more metal in the trigger, but I've read that the polymer parts allow smaller tolerances and the new 10/22 I bought has a surprisingly good trigger. I paid $177 for a new one on Gunbroker, plus a combined $50 for shipping and transfer.

Interesting. I've got one that I've been debating getting rid of. I assumed I'd be lucky to get $100 out of it, so I haven't bothered trying.

Well, I kinda gave in and fo'd on a 10/22 Saturday.
$200 with a Simmons scope and bulky see through combi rings/bases. Tossed that stuff in the miscellaneous box. Based on the serial number, it's from the last half of 2004. After a good cleaning, it appears to be in really nice shape.  Attached FilePicked this up for $350 too,  Attached File |

A MK II in that condition will sell for at least $500 here. One with a lot of wear will bring close to that, a $350 example would be a worn out piece of junk with no finish and probably plenty of rust.

Just buy a new one and sell off the parts you end up replacing like the stock and barrel.

A couple years ago I began to look for a good used 10/22. It took me several months before I found a 1996 deluxe in pretty good shape. He was asking $180 and ended up getting it for $160.00
nice looking MKIII - the loaded chamber indicator on those can be an issue. They make a blanking plate that you can put in there, but I just took a dremel tool and fixed mine. |

New prices at the show this weekend hover at $200. Some higher but nothing lower for new. I bought a takedown today, factory camo and threaded barrel, case and two 25rd mags..... $300

Palmetto has a sweet deal, $200 with free shipping for a threaded barrel synthetic stock model going on right now. What is sad though is that the takedown with suppressor rubs the can in the last thread. The front sight is just too close to the threads. I had to put a crush sleeve on it to get the can to tighten up without scraping. Wish I could post pics, I bought four guns this weekend, two ar lowers and some ammo. Great show. |

I think part of the reason prices stay high is that unless it's physically damaged, 10/22s just keep kicking. Why take a 50-70 dollar loss on a gun that still has 60,000 rounds or more of life left.
That said we're up to 5 of them in the safe now, I'm out of the used 10/22 market for a while

Now that the neckbearding is over, they are making up for it with gusto and 10-22's are addictive. 3. A new generation has come of age as well. 10-22 addiction doesn't age discriminate. |

Before the election, I usually paid about $150-$160 (private sale) for a used Ruger 10/22 in good condition with standard stock and metal trigger group. I haven't bought another in quite a while.
Prices and background check laws have made it just stupid. I mean.....beside the prices.....well, to do a background check for a private sale, can add another $25-$50 (depending on the FFL) to the cost. Rrrrright, I already own several firearms and have a CCW. The liberals (and the gun owners who like compromise) must be celebrating their stupidness. Aloha, Mark PS....Who wants to buy a firearm when you couldn't get ammo for it? But, now that ammo is available again..... So well, demand for the 10/22 rifles is up there. |

I bought my used 10/22 for $150 at a gun show in 2007. Gun shows never have deals anymore but I don't expect the value of mine has changed much.

We have the same issues with pricing where I am. The few shops in town have used guns listed at $250+. It was cheaper for me to drive down to Greenville, SC and buy a new one at PSA than to purchase used locally. Crazy.
