where is the market?

[Rjones2601]

I am thinking of selling my Ruger skeleton stock collection. I have not been paying attention to the market the last few years and not sure what the price point is for them any more. I do realize that condition is everything etc. just hoping for a little feedback for you guys.

thanks,

Are they stainless steel?
My cousin had one of those 25 years ago and I was really impressed with it!

I think he traded it away to one of his buddies when he moved out of state though.

your best bet would be gunbroker and looking at used auctions, what they actually sold for. I remember they used to be super popular but don't really hear about them being collected as much anymore.

I looked through closed auctions on GB. Mostly sold $800-900 ballpark. Some sold at $1500-1600. And everywhere in between. Seems what the rifle is chambered in affects value quite a bit.
