When a person is trading or pawning a gun, you can pretty much divide that price by one half. So if the gun shop offered more then $150 for any of them - you would be pretty lucky.
I don't think that this forum is the proper place to have your guns appraised - but I have bought and sold guns for 30 years and I pretty much know what the gun shops charge and what they sell for.
The values of used guns has not gone up in the past 4 years.
When the economy is good - there is less used guns available - hence the value of a used gun goes up when there is more demand.
When the economy is bad - people are always trying to sell their possessions.
Winchester Model 70 - $350 - $450
Remington Model 700 - Same
Winchester Model 100 - $150
Mossberg 183 - $100
......... Tell ya what, Mr. Deer Hunter... I'll buy all your 70's and 700's at those prices. Wanna sell? $150 for a Model 100? I'll buy 'em all day. Gun prices haven't gone up in 4 yrs? You are just crock full of it. You can't even begin to touch a 700 around here for less than $500 at the minimum. What a BS artist!!!
