I'll be "thinning the herd" and selling several machineguns and wanted to get a price check on the following items:

UC-9 folding machinegun new in case never fired

Valmet M78 with bipod and wooden furniture

SWD M11 new in box (never fired) with new in box 9 mm LAGE Kit 

M1 to M2 Carbine conversion kit 

Ingram Model 6

All items are fully transferable and would be going out on Form 4s.

Thanks in advance...I plan on putting these up for sale on Sturmgewehr very soon.

What is the serialized part in the carbine conversion kit?  It can make a big difference in price.

The serial number is stamped on the trigger housing.  The serial number and manufacturer are stamped on the disconnect lever.

We put together a valuation guide on our website here: https://www.webuyguns.com/machine-gun-valuation-guide

Most of the models you have are listed there. It may help as a single general reference point. Hope it helps! 

Your link is to submit for what you will pay, not an actual valuation guide.  Maybe the guide didn’t come through on my phone?  Dealer purchase pricing is significantly less than the market value in my experience.

Yes there are. Click on the link. Scroll down the page to the model you'd like to look at (they are categorized by country). Click on the model you're interested in and then read the page. There are estimated market price ranges on everything we have listed on our site.

Valmet sale referenced above was a pre-sample gun.  Not the same as a transferable gun. Maybe half the cost as per old rule of thumb (which really doesn't apply to all types). Free internet advice?  Here you go - worth every penny you paid for it:

UC-9 :  NIB will help it sell quicker, but not sure that you'll get a big value added for it.  If an Uzi is listing around $17.5k then I would put it in that same ballpark (maybe +/- $2k). Haven't seen one listed / sold recently. 

Valmet M78 : basically a Finnish RPK but with nice wood, in 308, expensive mags.  If AK conversions are moving at ~$35 to $38k, then I'd put this just below that figure. Maybe $32k +/- $2k?

SWD M11/9 :  NIB. Prices are low right now. Start at $12.5k since NIB.  Sell faster at $11k. Lage 9mm upper - unless one of the new Versa uppers - may have to drop to $750 or so.

M1 / M2 conversion kit - with no host, I'd put a selling price around $12k. At $10k I'd expect a line of folks with offers.

Ingram M6 - if have mags with it, in nice shape, would put it around $15k.  Am thinking somewhere between SW76 and Uzi, maybe lower, maybe higher depending on condition. 

Form 4? Not a big deal in my opinion, although it still scares away a number of individual buyers. 8-12 weeks to their dealer.  Offer to pay the outgoing transfer.  Drop your prices $1k to $2k less than my recommended numbers and you'll likely sell very quickly. I hope that this helps.  Expect dealer offers 25% less.  Good luck!

Yea, I don't think the link came through on your phone... We provided a general market guide via the link. The range is based on our general observation of "average" prices we've seen on sturm, the auction houses, gunbroker, etc...   

You might want to add the link to the guide as I looked and clicked through a half-dozen pages and did not find.

That's an impressive collection of transferables. For current market values, I'd recommend checking recent completed auctions on Sturmgewehr and other major NFA auction sites. The UC-9 and M11 with the Lage kit should generate significant interest given their condition. The Valmet M78 is a particularly rare piece that should command a premium.
