Pre'60 Win94 in 32 Special

Suther said:
Sure they made millions of them, but they haven't been making pre-64 ones for nearly 60 years, a new one has an MSRP of $1300USD, and most gun guys think anything new is inferior to the guns of old.

If it was a 30-30, $700 for a pre-64 in good condition sounds like a very good deal, but 32spl complicates things. It still doesn't sound like a BAD price, but I'm not sure if its a GOOD price either.



Did you look at the price tags? I wonder if 32spl ammo is similarly priced or notably more expensive...

A quick look online shows the 30-30 at $35-45 a box, and 32spl at $50-60, but that was only a single retailer (easthill outdoors).

40-45 didnt really paid attention to that, they were about the same.
but what gave me a stroke, the price of the weatherby ammo.

Mike apparently you missed my post even when shown examples the peanut gallery still rambles on .
3 examples that are not selling at reasonable prices and people are still posting nonsense.
Listed prices and selling prices are to totally different things
Anyone who quotes prices from gun post really has no clue about firearms sales at all
Gun post pricing actually makes Gun Stupid prices almost look realistic

I certainly appreciate references, thanks for digging those Epps prices up. And I do think dealer prices are one of the more useful bits of information. The prices you quoted might be reasonable for those rifles, but those rifles are not in what I'd call "good" condition. The cheapest one looks downright terrible, and even the best one ($900) has "mild rust with cold blue touch up", for example.

I'll easily agree with everything else, though. Unless it's a public auction, we know very, very little about actual selling prices. Sure, it's possible that some people might be paying the asking prices out there. But then again, maybe not.

Unless it's a really oddball, niche product, what we CAN generally tell from the listed asking prices: If it has been posted and unchanged for weeks or months, then the asking price is higher than the current market value.
 
Brass is easy to find, I just ordered another bag from Epps before posting this. There's 4 bags left.
Bullets are not that common ATM.

I picked up 1960-61 Marlin 336 in 32Spl a couple of years ago.

If it's just a run of the mill Pre64 carbine in 32 then $700 feels at the very top end of reasonable, unless it's in great shape...and they never are. A 30-30 would sell quicker, because that's what people want. Nothing wrong with a 32, but they're not popular.

The prices that Pre64 M94s are fetching these days is a little crazy, but they seem to be fetching the dollars so who am I to criticize?

I sure wish I picked up a 94 (or a Marlin 336) for $500 when that was still a fair price for one in decent (but well used) shape...
 
32 win sp ammo is very scarce. And now that the 94 is no longer manufactured by Winchester (Miroku) in that calibre it will likely continue as a scarcity. Retailers have none and there is none listed for sale on the forums. For that reason I would avoid a rifle in that calibre and find a 30-30 instead. IMO.
