Marlin lever action

mdj696 · 04-22-2008, 02:38 PM

My neighbor, a widow, wants to sell her husbands gun collection. My job is cleaning em up. My question, can anybody give me a ball park figure what its worth, great shape (after cleaning) Marlin lever action in Remington 44 magnum.

mdj696: Sir; is it a Model 1894? If so I did a quick search and "Guns America" has one for $355.00
Follow up when you can with a little more info. Thanks

If you have a few to price, go out and by the 28th Edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values. All you'll need! Good luck. Also, a great place to sell them is GunBroker.com Online Gun Auction. They will get many views and it's the best way to get as much as possible. Rather then having some dealer low-ball her just so he can turn around and price them higher so he can make cash.

Why don't you buy them from her? Hell if it were me, I'd try and get the cash for the ones I wanted anyhow..

I think GUNBROKER SUX!
I'd recommend you go to GunsAmerica, where I can actually vouch for them as I have purchased about 20 guns MYSELF there!

Thanks guys. She was going to have a guy sell them at a flea market (rural N.C.) I told her no, no, no. I'm trying to look after her best interest.

Take her to a dealer you know. You can go through him/her and put them on the web and let people bid.
