There is a "Bluebook of Airgun Values" (now in the 13 edition) - published by the same organization that has the "Bluebook of Gun Values". A bit pricey for casual use at $39.95, but shippin is included.Their website appears to allow a "lookup" but does not present the prices to persons that have not subscribed to the online services. But at least it would be known if a particular air gun is in the book.I do not expect a library with a copy could be found.

The latter does have some values in it, but I do believe there is a specific book on values. Two different books.
Thank you both. Aside from buying a subscription, which isn't really something I can justify doing, suggest I simply watch selling places and periodically do a search for the exact same gun as mine and ask a price accordingly? Don
Back_Roads thank you so very much. Very considerate and kind of you to take the time to search your reference for me. I'll have to figure out the spread between my Stingray and what I quite likely am pursuing. My beloved wife Penny and I never complain about our lives. God has been wonderful to us and we are housed, overfed, with some jiggling of monthly income have money for medications. We have adult children to be proud of and live in a comparatively free nation. If I am not able to spring (pun intended) for a new springer rifle life is still good. Right now a dear friend has a beautiful RWS 460 Magnum he's considering selling to me since he's moved to very remarkable PCPs. I asked him if it has the T06 trigger and am waiting to hear back. Thank you again each and all. Don
I'll keep searching online for value information. I can't be the only owner online out there wondering the same thing.CraigH off topic. Your avatar. I love steam, gas and Sterling miniatures. What style engine is that you have on display? Stunningly beautiful machine work. Your own creation? Are you also an enthusiast and maybe a toolmaker crafting your own mechanical marvels? Just beautiful.Don
I'm a returning member here after several years absence. With a fixed income and limited funds to get new hobby items I'd like, I need to liquidate tools and items to fund new purchases. I'm not embarrassed to say it. Just that's where my wife's and my lives are. Wanting a new RWS and scope (model I'm still debating, studying), I'm looking into selling my British Webley Stingray rifle I bought new from Airguns of Arizona back in I think, 1996. Beautiful gun in excellent condition, I don't know how to find fair market value. Asking value range is common on firearm forums I've been on. I cannot find a rule specific to asking values here either. is there a "Blue Book" type site I can reference for airguns? Google searches so far see only to list guns like mine over in the UK. I'd want a face-to-face sale only so a buyer could examine this rifle too. I understand that airgun laws can be just as picky in some localities as cartridge firearm laws and I can't risk breaking laws. Moderators please delete this post if it's not allowed. I tried in earnest to find out before posting. And please moderators PM me and teach me about any booboo if I made a faux pas.Thanks. Don
i would be very careful about pricing things like on "ebay". I find the prices are generally driven up by bidding (just saw a run of the mill R1 go for 890$... ludicrous...). the Books are a good guide as it shows the msrp and the history... most of the time is close to market value, but know that some trends can take airgun prices for a spin (sheridans for 300, for example...). try to sell that at the airgun show... you be lucky to get 200 to 225...
