Don't sell it, they don't make them anymore. I think I would claim bankruptcy before I sold mine.

I'd say list it on Gunbroker for $525 with a $700 buy now and whatever reserve you feel would work.
I'll just say since gold is $1400 an ounce now,I'm buying guns for very fair prices.
A local seller on gunbroker had a straight grip RC 30/30 that was at least 95%, but he set a high hidden reserve without a BUY NOW AND re-listed it several times before he sold it...at about the same or less than previous bids. Like the man said, some weeks the guns go high; other times they don't.LuckenbachTexas said:It hard to say.

Oh please, stop, wait, think, just don't sell! Think about yourself and absolutely be fair to yourself. You need your guns to be happy. It's OK to be a gun nut! Everybody gets depressed after surgery. I went through all of what you just went through, dead and back, triple bypass, back in 1998, and then I sold most of my gun collection to pay bills. Bills that I could have gotten help with and could have set up a payment plans easily. Selling my guns was the biggest mistake ever in my whole entire life! Don't make the mistakes that I have made. Set up some payment plans, rob Peter to pay Paul, whatever! Just don't sell your guns! Even though I got top dollar for my Marlin & Mauser collections, I was and am still very sad. I thought that my life was just about over, but no, it's nowhere near over, and 13 years later, I'm still crying about selling my gun collection. It's the stupidest thing that I ever did! Doc says that there is no reason that I can't go hunting either, just as long as I don't over exert myself. Take it easy, use your head he says. Don't try to carry large game out of the woods by myself. It took me years to collect all of those guns! Yeah, I know that they're better than money in the bank, they're like gold, but if I had a chance to do it all over again, selling my guns would not be an option. All of my guns were in better than NRA very good condition too! A Marlin 94 .44 Mag, a Marlin 94 .357 Mag, a Marlin 336 .30-30, a Marlin 336 .35 Rem, a Marlin 1895 45-70, a Marlin 60 .22, a Marlin 70 .22, a Ruger 10/22 walnut stock, and a Rossi 92 .357 Mag, ALL GONE! A Mauser 98 Siamese 8x52R, 2 Mausers VZ24 Venezuelan 7x57s, one was mint, a Mauser K98K 8x57, a Mauser Argentine 09 7.65x53, a Interarms Mark X commercial Mauser 7x57, a Mauser 95 Chilean 7x57, a Mauser 98 Spanish FR-8 7.62x51, a Mauser 96 Swedish 6.5x55, a Winchester M1890 nickel .22, a Norinco AK47 7.62x39, a Savage M326B .30-30, a Savage M24V .223 Rem/20 gauge, and a Remington M8 .35 Rem. ALL GONE! A Charter Arms Target Bulldog .44 Special, a Interarms Virginian Dragon Stainless .44 Mag, a Taurus Stainless .357 Mag, a Norinco Tokarev 7.62x25, a Uberti 1858 Rem .44 cap & ball, and a Davis Double Derringer .32 Auto. ALL GONE! :'( :'( :'(pastorp said:Hello all, need a little help here. I'm thinking about selling my orgional marlin marauder but not sure what I should price it at.
