Saw an 1892 at a gun show, wanted it, but felt it was way overpriced.  What is a reasonable value?  Gunbroker prices are in the sky but they don't seem to sell so I don't know how to judge the value.  

24 inch octagon barrel in 25-20.  SN is 910xxx.  Wood is well worn with scrapes and dents.  The forearm is shrunken slightly and slides fore-aft 1-2mm.  Most exposed metal is fairly brown.  Couldn't see the bore well, but the last inch of the muzzle looked like it had little or no rifling showing.  

Was marked $1325 and the guy offered $1200 sales tax included without me even asking about price.  

I passed as $1200 is way more than it's worth to me.  What is a reasonable market value?

Reasonable market value is only what the next guy is willing to pay.  Have you looked to see what used ones are going for on gun broker?

That sounds a little high to me. Last one I fondled was 1892, 25-20 made 30's
Round rifle length barrel. I'd call it "shooter" condition. Ruff but machanicaly sound.
Pawn shop
Asking $650.00.  Now I have to admit I felt this gun was very reasonably priced.
