I think you could do better than $500. I bet it would sell at $700-800 on the EE here. As mentioned, it has no cross-bolt safety, which helps its value considerably.
 
$500 is all it is worth, but some knuckle head might pay more. I bought one last fall in Like New condition for $600.
 
$500, I saw one last spring at a show that was close to new condition for $550. If it had been chambered in 356win I would have bought it in a heartbeat,... I probably would have payed $700 for it just because I would like to have the 356,....so maybe if you could find a buyer that wants a 375 you could get a few more bucks than the average going price,....but on average I would say $500-$550.
 
Thus is all typical disagreement about: "What's it worth?" No-one, and everyone is correct.

If you want to sell it, a good approach is to start at $700 or so (there was some convergence on its value, i.e. it's not $200 nor $2000). If you can be patient, start high, leave it up for a while and drop the price if necessary. I can't count the number of people who have wanted something I have for sale, but at a low-ball price, warned me it would never sell, and then 2-3 weeks later it sold.

This is the reason why so many people think their guns are worth so much. From those pictures that rifle is not in "EXCELLENT CONDITION". $500 top dollar.

I missed that he said "excellent condition!" That is ridiculous... that rifle would be rated as NRA "Good" (from what I can see)... not "very" good, and certainly not "excellent." Further, there is not "just one rust spot", the entire rifle has discolouration and freckling and the wood has many dings and dents.

OP, if you list that rifle as "excellent" you are likely to run into a problem with the buyer.
 
I saw one of these for sale on a Facebook group may be yours, was wondering on the availability of ammunition? Seems like it wouldn't be easy to find.
 
That gun was not looked after so the price realistically should reflect that.Ammo is not at every corner store for sure..........Harold
 
I agree with what has been said. The wood looks to be in nice shape, but from the pictures you post, overall the gun is in NRA "good" condition, and definitely not "excellent." I would not list it as such to avoid problems with a buyer. As to price, I would start at $600 as I'm sure a few would be willing to pay that. $700 is ridiculous even as a starting price. It's worth no more than $550 as others have suggested.
 
I agree with everyone who questioned the grading of the rifle..... Would be nice if everyone in the EE stuck with the NRA system.... It was teh first thing that caught my eye when I opened this thread....

When you take your rifle out of the box, it is excellent..... anything less starts the downgrading.....
 
The sights have been changed out, so it's not original. the front hood is missing altogether, and the finish has rust and blemishes. If I was advertising the gun, I would describe the condition as good, it is no where near excellent. As for price, I agree on $500.

Is it a Pre 1964?

You need to put a smiley after a statement like that, so people will know that you aren't serious.:)
