Don't see them go for over $1000, and see a bunch sit around for quite awhile at $900. Any other NIB 99 from the same time period will fetch more money, sadly. Nice display piece, though.
If you sell it for $1700, don't give out your home address or the buyer might come looking for ya after seeing what others bring.
Sorry for bad news. Welcome to the forum, tho.

He asked for suggestions, I gave my opinion. Loggah thinks it might bring a bit more, Jed a lot less, but most of the others are in same ballpark.
If you don't want suggestions, don't ask. Not trying to be mean, but there's no nice way to tell somebody they are overpricing something by 100%.

No problem.. I was new at one time and believe you and I worked out a couple of deals to both our satisfaction. Those guns weren't worth what I and my mother-in-law had hoped either, we got over the disappointment.

A lot of non-collecting folks like these rifles. Those are the people willing to pay 1000ish for them not 1700ish. I didn't say it was worth a 1000 to me....it's not. I doubt any of the guys here that told him it was worth a 1000 are willing to pay 1000 for it. It is an honest assessment of what it might be worth to somebody.Not trying to hurt anybodys feelings. But I ain't going to call a pile of sheet a rose either.

A grand or so doesn't seem like an amount to sneeze at. And I would think he has far less than that into it.

Just bought a 99DL from pictures only, a freind picked it up, and has it, so dont have S/N yet. Could someone ballpark what it, and the Model 1895 75th anniversary, would have sold for new in 1970.

Thanks. Don't see as meny post Mils as pre for sale in the shops, around here. If there are some around may be they still like to hunt. Being a left handed shooter, I like the tang safety. Maybe I'll try to collect them, if no one elce will. Their feelings must be hurt.

The day will come when they will become "collectable." Certainly, some already are when they are in .22-250, 7mm-08, .284, .358 and .375. There is a finite quantity of these and there won't be any more.

Steve Nice Specimens' And Great Photo's there. I Have one My self N.I.B. paid 600.00 for it and one out of the box paid 300.00 for it.-That one of course is a Range gun just to shoot them darn 308 bullets up. Centenials to some guys are collected,whether it be a Marlin,Winchester,savage or other,,they have there place to those whom collect them, As far as Prices What was just shown From you Steve on G.I. well thats awful Hi,but i'm sure one day they may go bump down the road. Most that seen Selling is between 500 and maybe 1200 with a box,,but most just sit around. Why i have 2 My self, One to keep in the box,,maybe in 20 years from now it might be worth something and the other just to play with,,i got them cheap enough. I think if the one asked about went on Gun-broker or somewhere else it may get 1,000-may!
