Hello CGN's, the store ive been working at has recently changed hands and the new owner is looking to sell his collection of 94 commemoratives. All rifles unfired, brand new in box. The reason im posting is i was hoping to get a little help pricing these beautys! Ive checked http ://www.doublegun.com/roth.htm and am wondering if these prices are accurate or up to date?

Guns in question-

Sioux carbine
Comanche carbine
RCMP centennial
Oliver Winchester edition
Antlered Game edition
Cheyenne carbine
little Big horn
Klondike Gold rush
cheroke carbine
John Wayne Commemerative.

I cant figure out if the john wayne was a canadian addition or not. what should I be looking for?

All guns are unfired NIB. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

right now if you can find some one who wants them you may get about 500$ each most guys stoped collecting them when the registration came to pass.and a lot of them were sold off .good luck DUTCH
 
agree

I agree with Dutch - with this economy lots of these are coming out of the woodwork. If they have box and papers, and have no storage dings, nicks, scratches, or rust freckling, they are worth around $450-$500 although the John Wayne one seems to bring much more of a premium. And the RCMP rifles that were purchased by RCMP members also bring about a $200 premium. Last pair I saw were $450 each Canadian Centennials rifle and carbine, unfired with box, and they went for $400 each. At that price they are pretty much a shooter. An investment they are not. Of course other regions with more collectors may have a greater interest.
 
Little collector value IMHO. They are shooters and that is exactly what I would use it for. I would be interested in a trapper model with a octagon barrel in any cartridge other than 30-30 Win. I don't even know if such a rifle exists.
 
I figured the prices would be US and based on the area the collector lived in. Ive already sold the comanche 94/22 for 850$. I guess its worth what they are willing to pay. Having them all laid out side by side sure makes for a pretty sight. They truly are beautiful rifles. Im a big fan of the musket style full length wood on the RCMP centennial.
 
The .22's and a few of the delux wooden boxed one sell for a good price. The rest sell for $450 to $650 or so depending on the exact model.

FWIW, 44Bore

$850 for a 94/22 yikes! Yes, they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay. What is worth big bucks in the US is run-of-the-mill here in Canada and it works the other way around. Good luck on your sales.
 
Well, I moved 36 of them through Bud Haynes' Auction 3 years ago for an estate, averaged $355 net after commission, and sold another 8 or 9 privately for $400-425.
They really weren't the collector items that most fell for, mainly because of the large numbers of each produced. .....but, for someone looking for a shiny shooter or CAS rifle, they make a great buy compared to a standard lever rifle.
 
Most of the average issues tend to go for somewhere in the
$ 400 - $ 500 range.

Average issue "NIB - 100 -percenters" with good condition boxes $ 500 - 750, depending on the potential buyers preferences for things like "octagon" over round, "rifle" over carbine, "caliber", other than 30-30, overall edition size and "name affinity" ... adding value. I've seen a good many DU "trade" edition commemoratives for example, go for $ 1000 and better ... right up to $ 2500 ( at DU fund raisers ... not a good indicator of market value however !). On gunshop shelves, the same guns might bring $ 500 - $ 650.

The John Wayne's tend to average a little more. Maybe
$ 750 - $ 1000 plus. The Canadian JW edition is serially-numbered CJW1 to CJW1000. The US version JW1 - JW49000.

As always, it's a willing buyer/willing seller scenario, with the actual amounts transacted establishing the market. Good luck with your mission No. 2 ;)
