I agree about putting this one on GB. You will get much more eyes on the prize and probably get top dollar from guys with big egos and even bigger pocket books. With that being said, top dollar for one of these is $3,000.00 for a 98-100% condition specimen. Here are some numbers I'll throw at it from a very viable and useful reference:

The Red Book of Winchester Values, 3rd. edition:

90% condition: $2,100.00

98-100% condition: $3,000.00

I'd strongly suggest posting numerous photos of all angles of the rifle, if your intention is to sell it here on the fire. I don't buy into this bs about rifles being "99% condition" until I see them, generally in person is best for full appraisal. One last question: Does your buddies rifle have all original sights (front and rear)? Are the blocks original? Anything unoriginal on the rifle like butt plate. Pictures are worth a 1000 words. Get them posted and we can pick it apart, I mean give a full estimate based on what we can see...
