My guess would put the value at $450 to $500. Beautiful gun, hard sell in that caliber. Ammo is a bit elusive. But the undrilled waffletop is a nice bit.

It might have been mine once if the left side of the receiver is drilled and tapped for a Lyman peep sight. I had one made in 1952 in that caliber when I was a teenager. I'd say $450.

Nice waffle top. I would agree with $450 - $500. A few years ago they seemed to sell a little higher. The last year or so they set and guys lower prices to sell.

Can't really say on the caliber. I have two 30-30s and a 35 Remington. I picked up some 32 Special brass from a forum member, darn, its been a few years ago. Figured I would run across a nice Marlin in 32 Spl. but haven't yet. Haven't really looked though. Anyway I don't see the caliber as a distraction, more of a plus to me.

Its not worth anything. As a matter of fact its so worthless that you should send it to me for disposal right away.

 

[wintheday]

I feel like I should pay you something for disposing of it.

No that won't be necessary. It's a service in more than willing to provide for free

$450-540 assuming 98-100% condition.

Thank you all for your replys.I have decided to put it up on gunbroker starting at a penny with no reserve crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

Then my guess is you will get $370

 

[Dapapadon]

Let me know when you list it. I'll bid.

Having bought and sold a few things on Gunbroker (Lilhigbee there too), I would suggest a starting bid that prevents you from shafting yourself. Reserves scare people off, but nobody seems to mind a reasonable starting bid. I would think $375-$400 would be good for this.
A simple thing that is easily overlooked; make sure you have a box to ship it in when it sells. Rifle-sized boxes are sometimes difficult to find.

I thank you I have my fingers crossed

I'd post it here with a reasonable price, like what the others have said. $500 would be a good asking price. Costs nothing to advertise it here and there's no shipping to deal with.
FYI, auctions aren't allowed here, but dickering is.

 

[jsparks747]

Maybe $10. Just sayin'!

 

[wintheday]

Let me know when you list it. I'll bid.

It will be up on Monday I have it set to start at 11:30 am happy bidding

 

[Dapapadon]

I'll look for it. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[wintheday]

It's up along with some others penny start no reserve.

Interesting tactic. I guess this could be defined as Spam then.
