Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

I didn't think a drug addict could own a firearm ?, cause someone sure smoking something. Crazy, Plain Crazy

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

MERCY-! That is pretty but......couldnt ya build one from parts for that. Not a true Marlin then, but still. CL

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Nice looking rifle...but...I think I could pick up 4 39s for that kind of money.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

I have two of them. One is 98+%(been fired but very little) the other one has not been fired. I've had them for a lot of years but never thought they would bring this kind of money.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

I am always suspicious when I see the bidding history and out of nowhere a bidder, with no rating, shows up and drives the price up.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Yes! If I was wiggy I would be done and wait for another to show up next week. Probably will be several come out of the wood work now with a price that high.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

jdad-

That is my gun. I started the gun at a reasonable price. I rolled my eyes when I saw that the bidding had jumped like it has with the leading bidder having no history. I've been on the other side and my thoughts were the same as yours . . . it looks very suspicious. Oh, well, I guess everyone needs to make their first purchase. What a way to jump into the pool! Believe me when I say, if I was using a straw bidder, there is no way I would keep bidding. In fact, the losing bidder bid again today and the guy with no rating is still in the lead!

I will note that I've sold one other 39A Octagon in the past 1 year and it sold for $1500, and was no where near as nice as this one.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Hi backtobethel
Glad to see another Nebraskan who appreciates 39A's.
Good luck on your sale

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Thanks stubbfarmer. I think we've done some Marlin "business" in the past. But I can't remember what it was. Maybe you bought a Bill West book from me. The reason I remember is because I think your hometown is very near where I grew up.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Well if there is a cure for marlinitis it when the price reaches that high. Now if I had one I would be happy as a pig in s.... But I am looking for its brother and not quite at that price. Congrats on selling your rifle at that price who know it may go higher, the night is young.

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Less than two hours to go on this auction, and all I can say is, "HOLY CRAP!"

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

GGEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! 1 1/2 hours to go and only $3225.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

That's $3225.01

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

backtobethel.....I truly hope it goes through the roof for you! 15 minutes and counting..I'm watching as Dawei says...tic tic tic ;D Mr fixit

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

The 39 Octogon just sold for 3225.01 with 2498 people visiting the ad. Just goes to show that there are still people out there with money that like Marlin 39's. Just makes my poor collection worth more.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

backtobethel are you going to Wichita this weekend? Get that newfound wealth back in circulation.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Stubbfarmer-

I've got a couple friends that are going, but I won't be able to go. I here it is a good show. Unfortunately, most of the money is already spent on a few items I found at the Sioux Falls show! Pre-spending, as my wife calls it!

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

The Bethel Threshers?

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

That sales price is unbelievable!!! (unglaublich und verruckt, as we say around here) I recently purchased a 1973 336 Octagon for less than $500, and the original price on the 39M Octagon was only $125! Talk about REALIZED investment potential - good for you BacktoBethel!!! Food for thought: an original 1922-26 Model 39 (no prefix) with 100% case coloring and 3X wood usually cannot bring that much...

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Hey when you just gotta have it...Priceless! ;D

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh wait, he's SERIOUS???

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

WOW!

I have one of these rifles...a 39A Octagon...it is like..new. i've only put around a box of ammo through it and there are ZERO dings or anything...an EASY 99%.

I'm thinking I'd sell it for that kind of $$ and get myself an older 39 as a shooter as I don't shoot this one much after learning of its rarity....backtobethel...if you want to contact the next high bidder on your auction to put us in touch with one another...feel free to do so ;D

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Hopefully the CEO at Remlin bought it so they can pull their heads out of their donkeys and put out a quality product.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

I have a Marlin 39M Octagon Carbine, made in 1973 only and there were 16% fewer carbines made than
rifles. It is for sale on AuctionArms.com starting bid is $1899.

 

Re: "Cheap" 39 Octagon for sale

Anyone know where I can fine a few octagon barrels??
I could re barrel a 39 A and sell for a little profit??
Oh my God
$3225.01 for a 39?!?!!?!?
Maybe remlin should take a look at what is going on and let Marlin go and make good rifles
