$400. to $475. Would be fair in my opinion, maybe a bit more with box and papers

Re: 39-2
You didn't say what caliber - while everyone assumes 9mm, it was also 7.65mm (.30 Luger)
From 34th Edition "Blue Book of Gun Values" @ 2013:
Model 3902 Alloy Frame (Later Production): 7.65mm(.30 Luger) or 9mm Para. cal., double action, 8 shot mag, 4 in. barrel, checkered walnut grips, adj. sight, allow frame, approx. 1971, the 3902 was introduced as an improved version. Mfg. 1970-82.
9mm Para. cal. values:
100%: $550
98% : $375
95%: $325
90%: $260
7.65mm cal.:
100%: $1,375
98% : $1,250
95% : $1,100
90% : $950
Add 15% for nickel finish.
The .30 Luger cal. (7.65mm) was mfg. for the European marketplace only. Very hard to find in the U.S.- bamboomaster

Re: 39-2
$400 to $450 is about right for that gun based on that pic. Especially if the box and possibly papers are included.
Nice shooter, a little heavy, 8-rd single-stack magazine, very comfortable "P38"-feeling grip. I sold my 39 many years ago when I got hooked on the SIG P225/P6, but I kept the wide-butt sister, the Model 59.

Re: 39-2
Cruzans, Noah's right ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Condition is a finicky thing, but yes, there is indeed a big difference (for collectors, anyways) between 95% and 100% in what folks are willing to pay. While some folks may have different points of view, in this economy, I have noticed that prices are migrating DOWN.
Now, I know this may not apply to your seller.
But it sure as hell applies to a 20 acre property we looked at with a really cool "dual" house, 3 different heating and cooling systems, mostly decripid out-buildings, and an asking price of $425K for a seller who has owned this property for two years.
So, where are the comparables? And for stuff that has really sold?
They're at $325-335K.
"Yes, but I need $425K just to break-even on this...oh, and BTW, I put another $60K into it."
OK, so show me - wasn't possible. Maybe "Streaker's" pond overflowed and flooded their basement?- bamboomaster
