That is not a carbine. It is a 24" barreled rifle model. As to price, the cellphone photo quality is so poor I can't judge the quality of the blueing. If it has never been refinished, it may be worth that price.
Since it's not a carbine and just a standard 64, the price is ALL about condition, which is impossible to discern from the picture you have provided. Definitely not a carbine as you originally thought. It's hard to see anything in that picture but wood looks to be in good shape if it hasn't been refinished. Price depends on that and the extent of the bluing loss which looks extensive on the receiver. Not a carbine but a nice gun anyway. If the seller is asking $675 you likely won't get it for less than $600 anyway so I'd say offer that and go from there if you are serious about buying it.

forend looks very fat for a Winchester. May have been re-stocked.
Personal history. My grandfather owned one of these. He gave it to a friend on the condition that he give it to one of his grandson's who was interested in hunting when he was done with it. (That would be me) but it was not to be. The guy became an alcoholic, and sold it for booze. It took a long time for me to forgive him for that. He was a very nice guy, but could not leave the bottle alone. It finally killed him.

On the value, to the right buyer, one of these does command more, they were a very desirable rifle in their day. Sometimes called the 'deer hunter special'. They are hard to find compared to the carbine version.
The deluxe 64 was called the model 64 deer rifle, checkered stock and sling standard. Forends on 64's made in the 1950's were fatter than the early rifles in the 1930's. Wood is original IMO. Jack O'Connor called the 64 the best stocked woods rifle made for offhand shooting of deer. They do fit nice. For value, guys are paying $400-$500 for 94 carbines in similar condition, I see no reason a decent 64 wouldn't bring $200-$300 more than that. Production was only 60 odd thousand.
The asking price is well within the value of this rifle (which it is, not a carbine as indicated originally). The 64 definitely brings a 200+ dollar premium over a standard 94 and as pointed out a standard 94 is worth 4-500 bucks now-a-days. The fore end is the fifties "Whelen" designed forend as suggested to Winchester by Col. Townsend Whelen as an improvement to this deer rifle.
This is a plain Jane vanilla 64 in good condition (appears) and doesn't warrant any premium price status from what I can see in the photos. It is NOT just a shooter as indicated earlier and most certainly DOES have collector value, struf55. I don't know where you get your Winchester collector information from, or possibly you can see some bubba mod in the photo I didn't notice. I own in excess of 70 original Winchesters, including three 64s, and some consider me a collector.
