Was yours factory drilled and tapped for scope? With side mounts? With scope? Given their age, think there is a pretty broad range based on condition and version. But like anything, depends on time&place, buyer&seller.

World of difference between this $50 singleshot with pieces missing, little bluing not scope ready and no scope http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401096

and this repeater for $200 that looks like good wood, good bluing, factory sights, factory drilled/tapped, sidemount & scope. Real firearm versus parts/project.

Am a little surprised though that only 2 in EE

Last while it looks like:
39s $75 to 125
75s $90 to 150 (differences rabbit carving, butt spacers, unusual wood)
60s $125 to 200
82s $250 to $350 (differences in swivels, sling, peep sight, military markings)
84s $75 to 125
Ace $75 to $200
Canuck $100 to 200 (watch whether .22 or .25)

some that I've seen

Good stuff. Was it a model 60? If it was in good condition with nice wood then you did very well. It's always great when you can find a steal. Those are the ones I generally never sell. The hunt and find gives them extra value to me. Sort of like a mini lottery win.
 
If the gun had the original mount and scope, it may be worth the price asked. But in my opinion, the addition of an after market scope and mount does not warrant the asked price. I had several model 60s with scopes and the high price was $60. So I shortened the stocks, had the barrels shortened and gave them to youngsters just beginning their shooting recreation. Blueing , woods or additions do affect price but the numbers available controls prices.IMO
 
Two years ago I bought a DPMS LR-308 for $1500 brand new. They go for $1800 to $2000 now if you can find them. :D

The last few years more people have started to take an interest in the older rifles with good wood. Mostly because they're known to be from a time of high quality and they still cost less than half that of a modern rimfire. IE CZ 452/453. As a result the prices have crept up. Like anything if you want the prime specimens then you may have to pay for it. Unless you happen to luck out.
 
"...factory drilled and tapped for scope?..." Cooey's were never drilled and tapped. Grooved only. Some had neither.

The model 64 has a grooved receiver.
Models 39 & 75 had neither (same with Ace and Canuck IIRC)

However, model:
71 drilled and tapped.
60(0) (of which there are about 5 different versions) has versions drilled and tapped for side mount
82 drilled and tapped for peep sight
750 drilled and tapped depending on version

Mine came factory drilled and tapped. I have a weaver base and mount with a tasco 4x on it. Nice little plinker

Of the 20 or so different ones that spend time with me the 75s are fun for plinking, but the 60s are very accurate (made me like my CZ 452 a little less actually - $540 for CZ or 150-200 for a nice scoped Cooey), the 64s no different than a 10/22 (but they sure are simple to maintain/disassemble), the 39s just a nice little rifle for youth in terms of size and safety (half #### safety and firing pin that requires cocking after bolt closed).
 
I have a 600 Winchester inbound. Looking forward to it.

This one wasn't a $50 version. If you want something special expect to pay a bit more for it. The pride of ownership more than makes up for the difference. If you're just looking for something to shoot the crud out of then the $50 ones are the way to go.
