It seems that since the new Marlins have gone up quite a lot in price, the older lever actions have, too, Mossberg included.
So, the prices in the gun value books don't reflect the increases very well.
Sometimes the store brands versions can be higher, depending on name and rarity.
As a wild guess, the one you are looking at sounds like $300 or so gun at retail.
