My new 1894 in 44 mag that I have mentioned in a recent post you can see on this page cost $454. Tax and all, it  ran close to $480. You can use that for comparison----if that is strictly for the used rifle only, I agree, that is running a little high, but in many parts of the country, it may not be off the scale either. If there is anything else thrown in the deal such as any ammo, brass, dies, sling, etc... it might be a really good deal. If that is used rifle only, maybe that is their asking price, but maybe they will come down some.

  I bought mine on Gun Broker for $485 + shipping NIB.  If you don't have to pay shipping, $500 might be pretty good.

I saw one local for sale brand new for 469.00

$500 ?  All depends.  There are 1894 .44 mags, and then there are 1894 .44 mags - some are worth a lot more than others, conditions being equal.

As in most other rifles, an especially short (16") factory barrel model or especially long one (22 1/2", in the case of an 1894 .44mag Sporter), will bring significantly more $$$ than a 20" carbine - as will a stainless steel carbine (no matter no much one may like/dislike SS rifles).
