DJ gave you correct info on the price variations, seems like since Winchester went out of business people are asking insane prices on everything made by them. Since the gun you're looking at is not a pre 1964 model, I'd offer what it is listed at in prices here. A well used hunting rifle with some marks on the stock and some wear on the bluing shouldn't be priced at more than 80% to 90%.
It'll be interesting to see if the values are changed much on Winchester models when the 28th Edition Blue Book of Gun Values comes out the beginning of April.

Winchester Model 88 Value

Answer 3

It's a very wide value range depending on condition.

People are going crazy with Winchester pricing these days.
Post-1964 models are much less desirable than pre-64s, however prices climbed drastically on all Winnies when they sold foreign and shut down the US plant.
I don't have my price book handy, but off the cuff that sounds like a fairly attractive price. The question is, do you know enough about condition to accurately rate it?

NRA MODERN GUN CONDITION STANDARDS:

NEW: Not previously sold at retail, in same condition as current factory production.
PERFECT: In New condition in every respect.
EXCELLENT: New condition, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing perfect, (except at muzzle or sharp edges).
VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting, only minor surface dents or scratches.
GOOD: In safe working condition, minor wear on working surfaces, no broken parts, no corrosion or pitting that will interfere with proper functioning.
FAIR: In safe working condition but well worn, perhaps requiring replacement of minor parts or adjustments which should be indicated in advertisement, no rust, but may have corrosion pits which do not render article unsafe or inoperable.


MODEL 94 STANDARD RIFLE
- .30-30 Win., .32 Win. Spl. (disc. 1973, reintroduced 1992), 7-30 Waters (new 1989), or .44 Mag. (mfg. circa late 1960s-1970s) cal., lever action, 6 or 7 (24 in. barrel only) shot tube mag., 20 or 24 (mfg. 1987-88 only) in. round barrel, open sights, straight walnut stock, barrel band on forearm. Angled ejection became standard 1982, 6 1/2 lbs. Mfg. 1964-97.
Grading 100% $275
Add $15 for 24 in. barrel (disc. 1990).
Add 20% for Model 94s w/o the crossbolt safety (pre-1992 mfg.) if original condition is 95%+.

Again, the book got tossed out the window on prices recently, so it's hard to say what the market is going for. You didn't say the caliber, as anything other than .30-30 is higher.

If it's in Good or Very Good or better shape, offer $275 and make the deal.

Answer 4

About five years ago I bought a .30-30 1894 Winchester for $300. It was manufactured in 1949. Try to talk them down to at least $250.
