Seems to be in great shape, cycles and shoots great. Action has been worked over.

I picked up a stainless off the EE for around 650$ a few months back. I sold my blued with skinner sights for around the same.
If it's microgroove rifling instead of ballard it will lose some appeal. If it's a late model Remington production you'll be low-balled.
As long as it's in safe working condition I wouldn't advertise the action as being worked. I have seen many a firearm where the action was "tuned" by a do'er yourseffer and I would tend to avoid one of those on the EE. That is not meant as an offence to you. I'd try for 625$ shipped.
 
An 1894c is $617 new at Ellwood Epps. I'd say no more than $575 in excellent condition, for a normal gun. With these new Marlins I would personally pay less due to the ####ty action feeling most have.

617$ plus 75$ tax plus 30$ shipping is around 725$. WHEN you can find them in stock.

If I was in the market for a used 1894C I'd gladly pay around 600$ from a reputable member for a clean pre-remington example.
 
Try to go to a store and handle one the new Marlington have to be handle so you can pick up one with good fitting finition and cycling or have the dealer if you buy online chekc it out good before shipping it, the new one are really a hit or miss at the range i saw some BL could not beleive they past QC...
