MrBill Posted October 3, 2024 Report Share Posted October 3, 2024 I will have a Thompson 28....Savage.....For Sale at The Big Sandy late October shoot. Good refinished shooter on form 4. What is a fair price in today's market for the buyer and seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisfan Posted October 3, 2024 Report Share Posted October 3, 2024 US marked? A1, AC, commercial? Lend lease (British)? Smooth barrel or fins? L sight or adjustable? Matching? Refinished by? Maybe $25 - $34 depending on appearance, features, answers to above, condition... My free opinion. Others may have better numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBill Posted October 3, 2024 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2024 Refinished ? Dont now . Adjustable rear sight. Finned barrel (probably not original to gun) Numbers match (upper and lower) I thought the 28 Savages were worth more than 25K Machine Gun Price Guides (just quoting) has recent sales between 30-48K .Maybe Gun Broker is the fair way?

68coupe Posted October 3, 2024 Report Share Posted October 3, 2024 44 minutes ago, MrBill said: Snip. Maybe Gun Broker is the fair way? Thanksj I wouldn't take too much stock in GB prices. Those prices have been known to be inflated, sometimes by a great deal. Although one can find great deals on GB, I would do more research. This is among the best places for that. A community of good, honest collectors that will provide expert advice on a plethora of subjects, including this one. Inflation has hit the firearm market as well, so take that into consideration too. A weaker dollar is weaker everywhere. Just my humble opinion, Karl, 68coupe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Sarge Posted October 4, 2024 Report Share Posted October 4, 2024 (edited) I guess this is the same Savage Thompson you wanted to sell me in December of 2022? You exchanged several emails with me, never responded to my last email requesting actual photographs of the Thompson. After several weeks of no reply, I bought a nice 5 digit Savage someplace else. Maybe this time when someone shows interest and you converse with them, when they ask for photos don't ghost them. It's rude. No one likes having their time wasted especially when you have cash in hand and are ready to buy. Update - Thank you for the PM Bill. I didn't know you were experiencing difficulties at the time. No hard feelings. We're square. Edited October 8, 2024 by SP Sarge 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanksguy Posted October 4, 2024 Report Share Posted October 4, 2024 MrBill........maybe you could post a few clear/close photos that show condition, markings, and what would go with the gun (?).....possibly a "redacted" copy of the current BATF Registration would help others give you some guesstimated value (????).

TD. Posted October 5, 2024 Report Share Posted October 5, 2024 MrBill, Blanksguy and Lewisfan are right on point. 25K to 35K (Savage Commercial in nice condition) is the correct price range without seeing pictures. Original finish in good condition and matching receiver and frame will bring the highest price. An early Savage with a New York address in nice condition is a big plus. Once you hit 30K plus with a World War II Thompson submachine gun, you have to have something special. My opinion. Others may have other ideas. Post some pictures. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGCJ Posted November 26, 2024 Report Share Posted November 26, 2024 I had the same lack of response/poor photo experience with Mr. Bill when he advertised a BAR for sale several years ago. After several inquiries and lack of manful response I gave up and bought a great Colt from a member of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
