Best bet is gunbroker, and yes it will be 600+. Its very rare to see one on here.

I'm watching a couple there but I never seem to do well on GB or Ebay unless its a "Buy It Now" for much more than its worth deal. Always get sniped the last minute or so. Missed out on the only one I've seen on here by 2-3 minutes a year or so ago. It was a nice one too, sold for $350.

I found a mint Western Auto 200-2280 for only $225.00 last year.
It's a Marlin 39a in all ways except the roll mark.
The guy selling it had two for sale, one being a Marlin 39a and the other the Western Auto.
The Marlin was $100.00 more and was well used from hunting, the Western Auto looked like it was just taken from the shipping box.
If the name doesn't mean all that much to you, it might be a way to acquire one for considerably less money.

Cool, that's good to know. Not worried about the name at all, it'd fit right in with my Coast To Coast/Marlins.
Thanks!
