A new one in .50BMG from the factory is running about $9k. Gun Broker tends to be retarded with fuckheads "who know what they gots". But you can get a similar one for about $6k. I'd say $5k is winning, but these things tend to be safe queens for most people, so unless it's a burning desire it should be a really good deal.

The Biden years have totally screwed the collectible and odd gun markets, but some people think they're still worth what they were in 2018, and they're not...

For example I sold an unturned, bright stainless Python in 2017 for $4K, and today it's worth probably 2. Gunbroker idiots still think they're that valuable and they sit because nobody is buying. The new ones helped kill the collector market, because 99% of fudds don't know, but still...

Were you already going to buy one new and this one came up as a great deal?
Or are you just toying with it and if the price is right, you'll pick it up for grins and giggles?

Around the $9k mark would be a decent price if it's essentially new and you actually wanted that specific rifle and that specific scope and their sighting system add on.

But if you are getting it for grins and giggles just because it's a deal, well the economy isn't doing well, folks will soon have to sell their expensive toys for what they can get, it's not an easy item to resell because of limited demand.
So if that's the case, $6k or around that is more of the kind of Hebrew deal you want to try to get.

If the seller wants over $10k for it, well I'd simply just let them sit on it for a year or such and then circle back and see what they say.

While PSA starts slinging semi auto 50s for under $3k.
 
It appears to have the Barrett / Leupold BORS ranging system on it. So that's a plus - that ran between $1500 and $2000 new. I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said - Barrett 50's don't bring what they used to and they are somewhat hard to move.
So - for me - between $6000 and $7000 for the gun ( new they are running $13,000-ish )and $750 to $1000 added for the BORS system.
I'm sure they are probably asking $11 to $12-ish. At that point I'd pass.
Good luck and YMMV.
