Need Help with Valuation HiPower Classic One of Fivek

[rhyga]

Good morning all:

I'm looking to sell a Belgian FN Hi Power Classic, One of Five Thousand Edition in excellent condition (never been fired, stored in gun safe since purchase in last 80's).  I need some assistance with getting a rough idea of the value and am considering either placing on GunBroker / Locked & Loaded,  or one of the other online gun sites.  Would prefer personal sale ( I'm in Georgia).  

Here are some pictures and would appreciate any advice/recommendations y'all may have.  Thanks much in advance.  PM for cell if in GA and have interest.

In my opinion, and from what I have seen the engraved Classic or sometimes referred to as the Silver Classic are running around +/-$3000. Some higher and some lower. If you are searching, make sure you are not comparing with the Gold Classic, which sells at a higher price point than your model, the Classic or Silver Classic.

You might wish to track this one currently being offered at Rock Island Auction in the Feb 7 sale. Pre sale estimate $1800-$2750. Keep in mind, there is about a 30% buyers premium at Rock Island over and above the hammer price.

Here is one sold by Rock Island a couple of years ago for just under $3,000.
