For this discussion, consider a scenario in which a customer brings in a J.C. Higgins Model 20 gauge shotgun in poor condition. Upon inspection, you notice a split in the gun stock wood around the grip area and needs to be re-broken and restored (see link below). Where would you go to find the value of the firearm, and how do you estimate the cost of repair? Lastly, how do you approach the customer with this information?
