What is the value of a marlin model 55 original goose gun?

Answer 1

Maybe $80 - $140 depending on condition?

I used to have one of these. It's the bolt-action shotgun with a really long barrel, cheap plain-looking wooden stock, and it uses a 2-round magazine so the total ammo capacity with one in the chamber is 3 shots?

I figured mine was worth $100 if I sold it to another willing (but not desperate) private individual like myself. That's with the magazine. A lot of these shotguns are found in pawn shops and flea markets missing the magazine, but I assume you can get a replacement mag for maybe $25.

It's not a collector's item. A hunter on a really tight budget might want it for ducks, geese, or maybe even turkeys. Big birds that are often shot at fairly long distances like 20-40 yards. I would also market it to a deer hunter that has a stand or blind over some thick woods, where the shot is likely to be 10-30 yards.
