As always, Go to Gunbroker.com and do an Advanced Search for Completed Sales. Tells you what sells and what doesn't

Wife and a few church lady's where out yard selling Saturday. She knows I like and buy Marlins. Sent me a picture of a 336 30-30 Bushnell Sport view scope. I told her if under 500.00 buy it. She called me and said come and get it 3miles from home. 450.00 was sell price. Been setting in safe for 30yr the lady said. Husband hunted with it but died 10yr ago. Kids did not want it and son said if you get 450.00 for it take it. Well she got it. Was made in 1976. I say 75% good will make a great woods gun.

That's an 800.00 + rifle any day of the week nowadays. That's amazing. I picked up my pre-owned, 80's vintage M336/.30-30 in pristine condition, for $150 back in the eartly 90's. It's not for sale. I did handle one of the new Ruger/Marlins at the Harrisburg show, $1300, and they are worth the price. Beautiful wood and finish. Anyone that's chased whitetails here in the east, (Maine to Virginia), knows that there's nothing like a nice lever gun when it comes to all day carry. Same for the M94 Winchester, ( I have one of each). The .30-30 is actually ideal for deer on the ground . And the M94/M336 just fit so well in hand. It's only money.

Gun broker prices are inflated. Auctions bring more money due to competition.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Screw in sling studs are the only detractor to the value. Hopefully they didn't put one through the bullseye in the butt stock. Hammer spur, sight hood, and Marlin scope ... plus it being a perch belly, all add a lot. And the white line spacers aren't missing. All good.
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

Gun broker prices are inflated. Auctions bring more money due to competition. That doesn't really make sense. The hammer price is what the buyer paid therefore that's what the gun will bring. That's what bidders were willing to pay. Now, if you want to say auctions inflate gun values, then you may have a point.

That's what bidders were willing to pay. Now, if you want to say auctions inflate gun values, then you may have a point. The prices sold on Gunbroker seem to be higher than on Guns International. The seller has to pay fees and the buyer has to pay taxes. The one example that I often see where bidding is high is at farm auctions. Rifles, pistols and shotguns will often sell at above full retail.
