Can someone give me an idea of a fair price for a 44 marlin 1894s (20 inch barrel ) bought new in 1989 and un fired still boxed and labeled .Its part of previous shooters collection that the family are selling and i want to offer a fair price .

Thanks

Marlin used to offer the 1894 and others with micro groove barrels which had lots of grooves or the ballard which is conventionally rifled barrel with I think 6 grooves. Some people dont like the micro groove barrels if you're shooting cast bullets.

Just because you are a fellow of fullbore uk, I am prepared to offer you 150 quid , no questions asked cash. I think that is fair, after all it is an older model and no one wants them any more. The 2 I have are micro bore but people do like the Ballard barrels as well . either way a ton and a half sounds reasonable...dibs

I am not selling I am possibly buying but am kinda stumped as to what its worth
as i said earlier (although its not that clear ) its a bereavement sale .

If it's not the Microgroove barrel ( which will be stamped Microgroove ) then I suspect about £850. There have been lots advertised at about £1000.

If it's Microgroove a lot less. Doubt less than £600 though.

Good luck. Hope my wife doesn't sell my guns for what she thinks they are worth.

If it's new and a JM marlin you ought to get £1000....have a look at the second hand marlins on rimfire magics website..

Offer 500 quid, about time stupid prices were brought into check.

What is wrong with you people ???????? I could have had that for 150 quid, gods teeth where are the GOM when you need them.
In all earnest though, there have been some ridiculous prices recently, I really like JM marlins and bought a used one for 550 a few months ago and it is like new except for the trigger job which is lush. Look at the realistic prices, I know this is new in box and unfired but that is not a big draw for me as it would lose it's virginity the first time I caressed it. New, in box and unplayed with is only good for toy collectors and brides. Guns need to be dirtied.
