They are all proofed JM except the Remington Marlins, and that buy out wasn't till 2010

Maybe a family squabble, two siblings fighting over dads rifle and bound and determined to keep it in the family.

Crazy for sure, 1500.00 is a stretch.

Current bid is $10,024!
Wow, that is a stretch!
That is a 1975. I bought the same gun in 1977 for $89 with paper route money. It was good quality. Never put on a scope. Sold it years later for $200.

Like most guys, I used to sell a gun to partially fund a new gun. My Dad used to tell me don’t sell any guns ever. They are a great investment. “Only sell if you get a huge return”. He is long gone, but my Mother still has the pristine Marlin 39a Golden Mountie that she bought on her Montgomery Wards employee discount for him one year for Christmas. Mom gave his other guns to needy and deserving family members.

I have a couple special Marlins too. Tempted to list them! Like you guys who have a nice Marlin, what is its value really? Passing them to heirs may add to estate tax if applicable. Guys going thru a divorce may get hammered to keep / buyout their own guns.

I have been shopping for a Marlin 1895 125/100 anniversary gun. They have been going for $2,000. What is to come? Yikes!

Over $10,000 now. That’s crazy. The gun is in mint condition but nothing really special about it except for that. I’ve got a JM Marlin 35 from the early 70s. But mines no where in that condition. Lots of good deer and memories with mine. Hope to pass it to one of boys one day.

I have nothing clever to put here.

Saw this on another forum and as of yet nobody can figure out what drove this Marlin to $10K?

I figure the seller asked 2-3 friends not acquainted with each other to help drive up the price if he got any bids on it. Isn't there an old saying about cheaters never winning?

IDK could be but then again I go to a lot of auctions at times and now and then you see some pretty crazy bidding going on where something will go for truly stupid prices sometimes several times what you could get it new for
