Puggers Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi, I've owned one of the above (from the Remington factory) with no issues, loading and ejecting flawlessly and always gaining admiring glances at the range. It's come to the time where I will probably let it go to fund another purchase and have been offered a wide range of values some of which could be deemed eye-watering when compared to the standard models. Marlins generally now seem to be commanding strong resale values and whilst there's part of me that wants to see a new owner get themselves a good deal and enjoy it's use, I don't want to be kicking myself all the way to the RFD. Does anyone have any first-hand experience on recent sales of a stainless Marlin in 38/357 calibre - the wood's clean and it performs well with factory as well as home loads through the Skinner peep sight I bought for it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Seem to recall my mate paying about £1300 for his top spec. tuned stainless Marlin from SYSS - he thought that was a bargain I'd just check the new prices & use those to guide 2nd-hand re-sale values. It's been known for less common & discontinued models to actually go up in price on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggers Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Noted and agreed Sadler - SYSS are close to me and in fact have tricked and slicked all Marlins I've owned, including this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang bang birdy Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I had a rare model from 2002 it had a shorter barrel I sold it for £950 about 18 months. Some people mocked my asking price of £1000 but it sold within a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc1973 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I have a 2003 1894C (not stainless) that I've been asking £850 (I want £750 for it) for at my club but havent had any enquiries yet even though its cheaper than anything on Guntrader. Someone else at the club recently sold one for £1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
