Was at a local pawn shop and they had 4-6 30-30's for sale. They were asking 400-500 for micro grooved and others that were in rough shape. What would you expect to pay for a micro groove with a beat up stock? I can buy a new 336 at Big 5 for 360 or so. Have been thinking I need one of these lever guns. Thanks, Jon

Well, you can get a new one at wallyworld for about $299. I wouldn't give over $200 for a beat up pawn shop gun.

I bought my 336 from wally world in 1997 shortly after I turned 18, I paid just over 200 for it, NIB. who woulda thought by abusing it it would double in value?
seriously MontanaMarine hit the nail on the head, couple hundred for a well used one, new ones shouldn't even be that much IMO, haven't priced any lately because mine still shoots lights out and will last many many years.
look on gunbroker for a good deal if you're looking to buy used.

Three weeks ago I paid $250 taxes included for a moderately used 30-30 336 with walnut stocks. It seems that after Oct.1st, they have gone up around 75 to $100. I guess folks have realized hunting season is almost here. In February the prices should be down again. Rick

Around here, I typically see 336's in 35 rem between $300-$400 and the 30.30's seem to be maybe $30-$50 less. In upstate NY I do see a slight increase in price as the season nears, less so in CT.
It might just be me, but I think I would rather have an older, gold triggered 336 as long as it had no rust, a good crown and no extreme wear to finish (metal or wood) than the new one at a similar price. I certainly wouldn't pay much of a premium for a new one.

I paid $250.00 a couple of months ago for a pre-owned, but unfired, 30A in 30/30 WIN at a local gunshop. The shop had two more, a 30A and a M336 that he wanted similar money for. Seems to be about the going rate around here for a used Marlin in 30/30.

I know a guy who picked up a Marlin Model 36 for $200 at a pawnshop recently. Not bad shape for its age.

Back in 1967 I bought a new 336 35rem. at K-Mart for $67 on sale. That would be a high price today. Rent on a nice house back then was 75-100/month. In todays dollars that would probably be $670 . Makes those $369 specials at walmart look like a deal.

The pawn shops around here are a little high on price on the used 336s. I find much better deals on gunbroker and sites like this.

I paid $339 for my used 336/.35 last fall. It's not perfect, but not all trashed either. It would probably go for less on GB.

I picked up 2 in mississippi at the pawn shops there. They don't sell to good down there but I got both for 300.00 plus tax. Both are in about 90-95% condition and shoot great.

I traded my new birch model 30/30 for a Savage 223 varmint gun. I had purchased a 1981 model with a walnut stock that I like much better. Gonna get me a older model in a .35 to replace the one I traded. I much prefer the older models over the new ones.

$67 in today's dollars is $438.19 according to the gubbermint bureau of labor statistics CPI calculator. I expect guns, guitars, and things like that of quality brands to appreciate at 3% compounded. $67 in 1967 would turn into $239 in 2010 at that rate. I bought a 1950 Marlin 336 in May for $165. It should be worth $167.50 by now.

"Back in 1967 I bought a new 336 35rem. at K-Mart for $67 on sale."
Yeah. That sounds like a real deal. NOW. Not such a great deal at the time tho. To put it in perspective, the common working stiff made about $100 a week at the time (before taxes) so that $67 amounted to about 27 hours pay. And if it had NOT been on sale even the K-Mart price would have cut significantly deeper.
Fact is, considering todays prices, most guns, reloading tools and components cost less in real value than they did in the 50s-60s. THESE are the "good ol' days!"
