A friend...a 'once in a while' shooter...brought by a couple rifles last night asking for my help selling them. One is a NIB Win 94AE in .444 Marlin. It's the standard rifle with a 20" bbl, nice walnut but nothing fancy, all the Winchester papers, and the factory screw-in hammer extension. S/N says '93-'94 mfg. and gun is in original box with factory zip-tie (yellow) tying down the lever. Story is: he bought the gun as 'NOS' 12-15 years ago at a 'business closing' auction for an old gunshop in a small rural community down south of here. Doesn't recall why he bought it, but that's how it ended up in his safe.
I've looked at 94AE listings on both Gunbroker and Guns America and I'm guessing he wouldn't be too far out of line with a no-reserve $800-$900 opening price. Am I in the ballpark or wafting into La-La Land?
