Fair price for a pre 64 model 70????

[SouthCoastTargets]

I have a pre 64 winchester model 70, chambered in .270 that im thinking about selling, what is a fair price for these things nowadays??? ballpark obviously based on condition of course, although mine is in fantastic shape.

Condition is king of course but it also depends on a few other things:
Has it been modified, i.e. Recoil pad added, drilled for receiver site or scope mounts?
What generation is it? Values vary for Pre-WWII, 1950's, 1960's (Pre-WWII guns were not D&T'ed for scopes)
What model is it? Standard, Super Grade Featherweight, National Match, Gopher Special, Carbine, etc.

Though the pre 64 is more desirable action to build a custom rifle on or collect:

The new younger shooters/hunters have limited knowledge of its existence, its mark made in target shooting history, or do not care for its possible tactical usage.

This leaves a older dwindling pool of collectors already stocked up with pristine and or collectable models unable to sell to the new younger shooters who want tacticool rifles.

We older shooters/collectors all know they are worth a minimum of $900 in pristine condition but youll be hard pressed to find someone to pay that amount so bide your time and do not plan on rushing the sale.

I'm a younger shooter that appreciates these kind of weapons. I'm actually in the market for both a Pre-64 Model 70 and 94
