I bought this Diamondback sometime in the middle '80s and I have never fired it, but I'll call it LNIB because I don't know for sure if it has been fired or not. It is in it's original box with ALL the papers and bag. I'm thinking of trading it for something and was wondering what the trade value would be.

The pics are on page 27 of the Photo Gallery thread.

Caliber ,barrel length, and type of finish play a big part.
All Colt's are skyrocketing in value, and the Python and Diamondback are at the top.

.22, 6", blue

Approx. how much does having the original box and everything that came in it add to the value?

In the case of a premium, hot model like the Diamondback, the original box and papers add much to the value.

I don't keep up on values much, and the prices are going up so fast it's hard to.
You can check the finished auctions on Gunbroker for what one has actually sold for, but guns tend to sell for a lot more on gun auctions then they do at gun shops.

Just as a wild guess. I'm going to say that a Diamondback .22LR 6" in near NIB, would sell well in excess of $1500 and I could be >significantly< low.

Thank you for your reply. A guy wanted to trade me a S&W Model 29-3 .44 Mag 8 3/8" blue for it, but it looks like he may be coming up a bit short.

We had a guy advertising a 4" .22 cal diamondback for nearly 3 years in the local gunlist.  Price was $1000 and it sat a looong time.  Used, no box.

Yours with the box, new unfired is probably at least 1400 I'd say.
