Winchester 94 Klondike Commemorate value ?

[45C]

Hello,
My buddy is thinking of selling a Klondike Gold Rush Commemorative .
Excellent condition.

Comes with original box, which is a bit beaten up.
Said he fired 3 rounds and that the remaining 17 is included as well.

What’s a ballpark fair price?

Thanks

$800...
There are many in the EE...many not be a Klondike Gold Rush version.
Take a snoop through and you will see what they range from.
Just my Justinflation opinion.

Ya,I’ve seen a few Klondike gold rush on G post, for $1800 to $2200 but the box’s are mint and they have all the paperwork.
Although this rifle is in new condition,the box is rough and there’s no brochures.
I was thinking 8 or 9 hundred for a quick sale

I find the Commemorates are slightly over priced...even in mint condition.
Thats just my opinion.

For the most part, they are.

I would think $800-900 would sell reasonably quick. I would never pay the premium some people seem to think these guns are worth, but I would buy one for a good price just to use, and a Win94 selling for under $1000 doesn't seem very common these days unless its beat to hell.

A "fired" commemorative isnt a "collector" commemorative anymore in the collector world so pricing the same as any used "94" should be appropriate.

Does anyone actually collect these? I mean, I'm sure SOMEONE does, because someone collects practically everything you could possibly collect, but is there any real collector market for these?

the enthusiasm might have died down considerably but there still is collector interest I think. I once saw a fist fight break out at a firearms auction over a commemorative sleeve that was discarded by a commemorative purchaser who did just want the rifle for a shooter (Bud Haynes auction back in the 70's when they were selling out of an old garage down by the river in Red Deer).
