Bought my used 336 in .35 Remington for $260 about 5 years ago or so......just looked at one today for $325, and it was nothing special.

Marlin 336's and Winchester M94's in 30-30 are selling for top dollar around here (Arizona) due to the high Mexican population. (Unoficially, the 30-30 is the 30-06 of Mexico.) I had two beater M94s that I paid $100 for one and $125 for the other. Sold them both for $400. M94s go high now that Winchester doesn't make them any more. I still have a couple of M64s and one two 94s, one a family heirloom and the other bought in 1981 new. I have one Marlin 30-30 as well that I got into cheap because the butt stock was badly cracked. I fixed it and it is a good shooter.
All I can suggest is hit the gun shows, pawn shops or buy new. Marlin does make a lowered priced model, the Glenfield I think it's called. Might be hard to find though as Remington bought Marlin out.

New ones around $369, if you wait until right after deer season instead of right before like it is now you can pick up used ones for around $200 or less. Since season starts new used ones are running almost as much as new ones.

It depends on condition

The market is going up so prices are all over the place around here for used Marlin lever actions. An average price would be around $300.00 or a bit more. So it depends. Hope this helps. All the best...

I would hold out for a pre safety marlin 336.

The new ones looks like plastic stocks even when they use a cheap walnut(marshield). The new remington marlins are far from the quality of the marlins of the 1980's and before. If you hold out till you find a good old one you will be very happy.

G-broker and g uns america always have shooter 30-30 or sometimes 35 rems on dollar auctions from pawn shops around the USA. Watch here and have them shipped to your local FFL and pay the shipping and FFL fee.

I have bought some at 200 and some at 400. The 400 was a 336 SC with waffle top in 35 rem and lyman 66 peep. It looked like someone had put it up for me for 60 years not a single scratch. Lots of people in a bad way on money right now and grandpa 30-30 often gets the sell over the AR rifle.
