I've got a couple on gunbroker presently:

Both are nice, tight, solid rifles. No bids yet.
I had expected that nice pre-64 Winchesters would show *some* activity. Is it the guns, the photos, or ????

Thx

Mike

Mike,
my guess is that you will get some activity as the end of auction nears. Your ads look very good to me. Hope you do well on both of them!

Thanks Buckeye
I guess I'm wondering if the market for pre-war winchester lever guns is soft right now. The two above are fairly pedestrian, but others are on the horizon that are much more sought after.

Mike

Since you asked for opinions, I will give you mine. I would not bid on the top gun for the simple reason that I never bid on a "reserve not met" auction where the reserve is not stated. To go one futher, if you want X amount of dollars for an item, put that as the starting bid. It is a waste of my time to keep bidding until I get at, or above, the reserve level.
As for the second gun, I think, personally, that it is overpriced. At least around where I live, old Winchesters, unless they are something real rare or special, have lost a lot of their charm so to speak.
Again, you asked what we thought and those are my opinions. Not trying to be mean spirited or start a flaming session, just giving my thoughts to your question.
Both are extremely nice shooter grade rifles and I really hope you sell them.

Thanks for your comments CM.

As a follow up, the guns sold locally via another ad. $650 for the 1952 gun and $950 for the 1924 gun.

I would say you did better than average.

By a long shot!...
Up here the one you sold for $650.00 would fetch max $400.00 Canadian or roughly $340.00 U.S...I have been watching the prices of pre 64 94's as I would like one...I plan on paying no more than $325.00 Cdn$...I quess they are considered collectors in the states eh?
