I'm trying to find out prices on a gun?

Question

glenfield A30 lever action rifle cal. 30/30

Answer 1

This was a department store gun

The values would be from $150 to $200

$200 is the most I have ever seen one sell for and it was in very good shape

Walmart sells a comparable 336 for about $325 new

===========

This outlines the problem with using these auction houses as a pricer for used guns

It was noted that the value of the gun was around $250 because that is what it is listed at on the auction site

What the poster failed to note was that no one is bidding on it at that price

Answer 2

150-300 used

300-500 new depending on the quality of the rifle.

Answer 3

j c higgins was for sears and their was never a glenfield  j c higgins model. but marlin, winchester, stevens and hi standard did make firearms for sears under the j c higgins name. a30, nice gun ,i have one, payed $250.

Answer 4

The Glenfield was made by Marlin firearms, it is just a Marlin with the GlenField name on it.* Check here for value..>> gunsamerica.com, auctionarms.com, modernfirearms....

Answer 5

any of the online auction sites would be fair source to estimate value.

Glenfeids are the price leader of the Marlin line.. usually the same , save cheaper wood for stocks...birch vs walnut.

Around here a pristine Glenfeild will bring $225 or so... the same rifle marked "Marlin" will bring double.

Edit: the "poster" buys and sells often in the birck and mortar world. Glenfeilds are excellent but price leader Marlins... they just dont bring the money.

If you do use online auction prices for appraisal be warned... there is always someone at an aution who will pay too much.

You need to know your area and market a little bit to use any data.

Answer 6

$250-$350 for a used but good condition. $400+ for brand new.

Answer 7

Your gun is worth around $250 and no more than $300.  Glenfield is a Marlin gun made for JC Higgins (Penny) and Marlin made a pile of these guns.  They are a great gun, I own one.  But because there are so many of them and they are up against the more popular Winchester, they are not as popular.

In my opinion Marlin makes a much better lever gun, but again, my opinion.  I am not alone in this opinion.  But Winchester has always been in more demand and much more popular.

We take these guns in occasionally at the sporting goods store I work at and sell them on the floor for $250.
