According to Guns Digest Gun Values:

Husqvarna Model 3100 Crown Grade lists at $575 for excellent condition, no NIB price is noted. The Model 3000 Crown Grade is not listed but has the Monte Carlo stock whereas the 3100 model has the lower comb height sporting stock.

A plain-Jane Savage Model 99-EG Standard Weight Rifle should not exceed $900 in excellent condition. NIB price is also not noted.

Does somebody here have Guns Blue Book "excellent" values for any of the rifles above?

If you hold the gun 3 feet in front of you in good light and no scratches, chips, mars, bluing wear or rust is visible, it's in excellent shape. No rust nor pitting should be inside the barrel also.

I don't care to buy a gun like this over the Internet. I want to inspect in person with a magnifier before laying money down. I have a Want to Buy ad posted on Armslist now for these guns. I live in SW Oklahoma.

Mr. Gun Blue 490 in this Savage 99 video found a nice one but he had to do a lot of work cleaning excess oil out of the action and also to clean up the darkened oil-penetrated stock wood. He says he got this classic for a song:
