I am pretty dead set on purchasing an early (side button selector with no serial number) model 24 - .22/.410
I have found one in what seems like really excellent+ condition and I was wondering what everyone would consider a good price?
Hope to put in the order after lunch if it seems like a good price.
Thanks !

As a general rule (without seeing any detailed pictures, know the location, etc) in this day of rising gun prices (all prices actually!!) I look to pay $275.00 to $375.00 for a really decent working/shooting 22/410 gun. But some of the prices I see being paid today really surprise me, and put me out of the market.

Well lets just say he's asking nearly $700 and after shipping and transfer fees it'll be closer to $800 than 7..
I haven't seen anything online going for less than $500 in excellent condition...and I would say this one looks to be at about 95% overall from early 50's..

Look on Gunbroker and GunsAmerica. That seems at least 30-40% higher than those that have sold recently.

Well, it's interesting that you mentioned the pricing on an early Model 24 22 410 OU. I bought one too. Let's just say that I got bit by the model 24 bug and justified buying one for practical reasons ...afterward. I love this gun.
When I started a search for one a few months ago they were on gunbroker and cabela's sites. What you've finding now is the same as I found. An excellent example 22 410 OU hovers around $500. They come and go and you've got to be lucky if one comes up in really nice condition and pretty fast on the trigger (pun intended) to buy one. Now, the broken stock or scrapped up barrel needing over haul are a different matter. Rebuilders are obviously much more common. But nice ones that survived in one or two families all their lives are either passed down in the family or go for a lot more money.
I called several cabela's gun room listings around the country.....only to find they had sold. Just on a chance I tried a local gun shop list of used guns. There she was....a very nice example. Price $550 that swelled to $600 all in. After buying mine I've seen a couple on line sell for $600+.
I believe these are a classic gun which people buy for themselves to recreate a simpler time or ....hopefully buy for their grandson or granddaughter for them to share a youthful experience. They're also a great little camp and survival gun. Rather than banter about whether it is or isn't a good survival gun. Catch the tread Why A 410.
Good luck with your find. In my humble opinion, as an excellent example, you didn't over pay.

I saw one in a sporting goods store not long ago for 400.

Got one on G broker last spring $ 400.00 When it arrived it was much better than it appeared in the photos. Perfect blue, tenite, case colored receiver and barrels. Some times a person just gets lucky. I'd say 98% Like new without the box or tags. I bought it to replace one that was stolen that was and not in as good condition. The former tenant who stole it reimbursed me $450.00 when confronted to save involving the Sheriff. If I recall correctly that $700.00 one was on g broker way back then.

It sure sounds like everything worked out well in the end. You got a good gun at a great price. These stevens/savages are fine classic guns. They shoot as good as they look..and look dog gone good. Let us know how she shoots. Chief

Shots fine, rings a 6" gong at 60 yards with iron sights and 77 year old eyes without glasses.
