There are a bunch on gunbroker.com. Most are going for $350-$550. There are some a little cheaper & a lot of others for more.....don't be turned off by the stocks finish unless cracked....a few dents & dings adds character & refinishing of the stock is easy & won't hurt value. If you get a really good deal on one that isn't that old, but the bluing is not good......go ahead & have it re-blued or even Parkerized (I've re-done one that I Parkerized & put on synthetic stock...now it's an all weather gun!
That being said......prices vary depending on condition, age & seller's attachment. The cheapest I've paid for an angle-eject was $75. The most I've paid for one made at the beginning of WW2 was $425. I however, shop for bargains & don't own any of the rare ones, which bring a premium.
Most will have issues around the receiver where the bluing will be worn & the metal likely to be pitted. This is caused by the balance point for carrying one handed happens to be right across the receiver. Inspect the innards & barrel as a lot of the rifles were saddle & truck guns. They may not have been taken care of...... Most will be carried a lot & shot very little.
Prices will be cheapest on the 30-30s, pistol calibers will be slightly higher...remaining rifle calibers will be higher yet.
Here's a couple of examples...the one in the middle I paid $75, the one on the right $325....go figure.....(one on the left is the Park'd one)
