These are interesting. The 308 sell for about 400. The 284 has a higher demand, it might be worth 500,just not to me. 
. There are a lot of 100's in stores that sit a long time. Value also varies in different areas. This is probably worth more in the East.

The "value" of any gun of course depends on how much a person really really wants it.
Like myself for instance. I wanted a M100 in .284 fairly bad and I saw one was up for sale at an Auction.
Apparently I wanted it more than the other guy that seemed to want it and I got it.
The price I payed was more than some would say it was "worth". But I wanted it and I bought it.
(ok $700.00)

had a pre-64 in 284cal in 90% cond. and paid $700 2 years ago and thought it fair. There are less than 300 pre-64 model 100's in this calibre!! Did not know it was rare, and sold it to a friend who enjoys it. cheers Dale in T-Bay
There was a firing pin recall on these semi's if my memory serves me correct.
Forget which, there used to be info on Winchester's site a few years back.
Haven't had a need to go back there so not sure if it still exists.
Believe there was a 1-800 #.
Only draw back was you had to send your pin in for the exchange of a new replacement
pin. Took a bit of time.
Regards.

PM 88Man and ask him as he has a real good handle on these things.
The number of 284's made is quite high. The 1963 intro of the 284 caliber makes it the most desirable (pre-64)and I paid $600 for mine even though it is only the checkering that is different. Realistically $400 to $500 for a post 64 version. For some reason, the 1963 model 88 in 284 draws a good premium.
Take the clip out and look for a "C" stamped on the top between the holes for the base. If there is stamp, the firing pin has been changed by the factory authorized depot.
Best bet is to keep it and shoot it! They are a wonderful gun and a great caliber.

about 6-7 years ago I bought a 100 in 284 with a 4X weaver on it for $80...yes, $80.......after firing it I knew I had paid too much....out of 12 factory rounds, two failed to fire the first time...and 5 of them failed to eject properly jamming the gun...sold it....lost my shirt on it

List it on the EE for $400 and I can guarantee you it will be gone in seconds. I have seen them as high as $900.
