No. Generally, you can expect a 10 - 15% reduction in value for a used gun, more with increased wear and tear.


That's kind of a vague question, like asking if a used car is worth what a new one is, and just like cars there are classic guns, there are lemons, etc. Generally, no, like the previous answer. However, there are some antique firearms that can bring quite a bit of money at auctions, like a 1911 from WWII that is still in decent shape, or Wyatt Earp's peacemaker. Sometimes the value of a gun will go up as you own it and you could sell it for a profit. I have a Remmington 700 that falls into that category, bought cheap and now worth about 2-3 times what I paid. These are not the rule but the exception. If you buy new, the value of the gun goes down before you leave the shop with it, just like a car. It's "worth" is whatever you can get for it and people will always pay a little more to get something new rather than second-hand.
