Buddy is trying to sell as his health has deteriorated to where he can't go shoot anymore.

In today's market, someone will give $1200.

Could be more.

Put it on consignment at your LGS after deciding what is the minimum $$ your friend is willing to take.

An honest dealer will help him, may even already know a buyer.

I don't think the ported guns bring as much. Do an advanced search on GB for closed auctions to see what actually sold.
Marlin market has been cooling, but still desirable

I had looked at GB and the last three ported rifles sold for $1135, $1275, and $1399. The non ported rifles solld from $800 up to $1300. True Gun Value is showing 51 used guns sold in las 12 months, with an average price on all versions of the guide gun $1350 the last 12 months.

My friend is is 79 can't really leave the house, and I'm trying to help him value some things for his family. I used True Gun Value and Gun Critic to value some single action revolvers and everyone thought the valuation was high. So I'm using feedback from the forums as well to help.
