call me crazy,but i think i am going to have to sell my kit and reciever to pay bills.i know what to ask for the kit,but i have no idea what a fair price is for the reciever.what do you think?

Post by **Pirate** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:59 pm

they look like a choice set of parts, I would put them on gunbroker.

Pirate,never used gunbroker before.you think it would do better to sell the complete pakage or sell the reciever separetly ?

Post by **Bil** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:44 pm

Mike-It's hard to tell in the picture-does the receiver have the entire length?Meaning will those pieces add up to total length? Personally,I think I would try to sell as a unit-the entire gun.Just my opinion,there may be more call just for the receiver.It looks nice. ---bil

thanks bil and pirate.and yes they will make up the whole length of the reciever.not including what was taken out from the cut.

It looks like you also have some sort of jig,and a rod for the recuperater hole.Nice set-up. ---bil

Put it on gunbroker. Let the buyers decide. If you have a minimum you want for it put a reserve on it. I would not sell the receiver for less than $300. That is on the cheap side because the buffer and cam areas are intact.

You could post it in our F/S Section first for a few days to let our Board-Members have a shot at it first.

Just look/ask around on values/pricing...and then decide on a fair price......then post the ad in accordance with the Board-Rules.

Prices that I have recently seen for MG34 items have been:

Parts-Kits (without DEMILed receiver):

Low of $250 for mismatched...lined-out serial-numbers/renumbered....ground-off numbers/markings.....on up to a midway for a decent complete MG34 Parts-Kit of $500-600....and then up to the better kits where most "original-manufactuer's" numbers/markings (not remarked) are present, nice condition kits around $800........then the "collector-grade parts-kits with matching "origina" numbers (not renumbered/lined-out/ground, etc.) with 3 or 4-hole barrel-jackets....wood or bakelite butt-stocks and correct WWII German Bipod (not the post-war Brno model) at about $1,200 and up.

DEMILed MG34 Receivers:

2-Cut matching sections at about $500-$600.
3 or more cuts/pieces (?)....less money.

I sold 3 receiver so far, 2 on the boards, one on gb. They were the typical IMA/FAC supply. I got no less than $375 a piece. That was 4-5 months ago.

I would like to see better digital-photos of the markings on the top-rear of the barrel-jacket and markings on the top-cover to see if I am interested.

I would still put it up for auction. This lets the market decide. MP44 kits used to go at $3000. The last few have not sold or reached that. Except for one that had 8 mags. That is over $2000 in mags. If you want to help guys here you can offer free shipping on the item, since it is a heavy kit, if they buy it there.

If you are selling it because you need the money sell it to the highest bidder. Look out for yourself. You will be sorry you sold it later but if you need the money you need the money. Get what you can for it.

Smoggle-which part do you really mean-get the best price or 'you will be sorry later' ?

You very funny round-eye. Actually I am not sorry about the 42. Have you done anything with it yet? Basically both. If he needs the money get as much as you can. The household comes first. Later on you will say I wish I didn't need to sell it. I still kick myself for selling my rock-ola carbine 16 years ago because I hadn't shot it in 2 years and was a 23 year old with a kid on the way. $275 OYYYYYYY!

It's worth 1,100-1,500 even WITH line outs, mismatched numbers, and broken stocks. These mg 34 kits are gone, over, Kaput from the COMMON market. Period. Take a look on IMA, and see their little comment on how all their 34 stuff is gone, and that you should refer to TNW for parts !! Hell, even the bolts at ohio ordanance have been bought up. Do like mentioned and throw it into a Bid war with a reserve of at least 1,100 (sight unseen I'm sure you'll get that)
Whatever you do, don't get lowballed by some guy that intends to turn and make the real profit. Make the real profit for yourself, and the buyer will be someone that's going to use it for himself.
Good luck to you.
