Those bad fake gold Winchester special edition guns don't go for much, unfired around $500... the Gun Dealer got ahold of a collection of almost 40 of these and they all sold for $450-$600... if you had a different caliber (.44/40, .38/55 etc...) you might get a little more.

It seems like theirs a Win 94 commemorative edition for just about everything. Next time I go to a gun shop I'll probably spot one commemorating that time I took a big dump in the woods.
600 to 800 at auction is what, 300-450 in hand after fees?

Tee hee! I was thinkin' the same thing! They could've called 'er "Inconvenience Salvaged" an had a nice scene of a hunter squattin' by a big tree with just his head & shoulders showing along with his knees & toes and of course, a 94 leaning against the tree beside him. The view would be centered between the ears and antlers of a nearby buck.
As fer today's pricing on commemorative Win 94's, it depends a fair bit on the region folks are in. In the US the Golden Spike models are seen at prices ranging from 500.oo-1000.oo and some without boxes & papers listed north of 800.oo. Up here, pricing on these are lower generally than US ones as they be less appreciated by folks here.
In my area, many Win commemorative models go for around 650-850 in minty condition. Lot's of folk's may poo-poo these rifles, but they are generally quite nicely
made with good wood and metal fitting. The barrels on all the ones I've owned were well rifled & straight. They may look a tad to funky to many, but they be just as good fer huntin' & plinkin' as any 94 out there as far as I'm concerned.
Like dis one.

Yes she be. The bugger is light, carries very well and shoots fine with cast. I love this rifle & she be with me till tip over time.
Sure, but people bought them.
Commercialism at its best.
Give the people what they want and the company makes money.

The commemorative Winchester 94 can range from anything from a beautiful master piece to a total waist. Like the Klondike Gold Rush vs the Alberta Diamond Jubilee. The Alberta is beautiful. A Masterpiece of engraving. The Klondike Gold Rush is an engraving of a stick man with a bucket and the other side is cave man engraving of a pick axe. The Golden Spike is like the Klondike Gold Rush. Engraved by a cave man. Some of the Gold ones can be nice like the Antlered Game or the Oliver Winchester.
I sold 7 or 8 at gun shows, all unfired, no boxes, $850 each. Two were RCMP, one or two others were 44-40. They are mostly worth what someone is willing to pay for them, not what I think they're worth. Despite the slagging, a nice 94 sells quickly at a show. Not surprisingly, scruffy 94's sell good too!
