Average to high price. Real collector models will be higher.
Look on the receiver, by the rear sight. Look for an 'X' on the receiver.
If it's there, it was a Russian 'capture' gun. Check the bore, alot are still equipt with strong rifling, but the bores are dark. Post any letter codes, such as BYF, or BSW. I have a 1937 BSW, a bicycle mfg who also made guns. Mine wears Wehrmact and nazi rhunes, as well as govt. Proofs from the time frame. It's matching as well, and shoots to minute of combatant as designed.
Early guns 'should' wear walnut stocks, but for the most part, most K98k's wore the laminate stock. Watch the ammo that you use in it should you purchase it, as alot of it was/is corrosive, or has corrosive primers. The 8x57 is between the.308 and the 30-06 in the power range, and should you choose to hunt with it, there is some hunting ammo available commercially, but handloading will make any 98 ring mauser shine. This is mine. These sold for 200 bucks several years ago.
An all original bayonet if matching numbers and nice makers mark is worth 150 alone. Even an unmatched bayo and scabbard if worth 80 easy. 400 would be a good buy in today's market, even for a Russian Capture. Make sure you check all numbers. The Germans marked even screws with the last two serial nos. The firing pin is marked and extractor, there are many serial numbers on a K98. I paid 650 for a lightly sanded CE all matching no import several years ago and its a 1400 dollar to 1600 dollar gun today.
They are not importing any more of these so grab it. Also check out Mitchell's Mausers. I have a Yugoslavian surrender Mauser. Yugoslavia was the only country to self liberate from German occupation. The Yugoslavian forces took possession of several thousand K98's.
Most were 'reconditioned' at one of a few Yugoslavian factories. All the visible and easy to get to German markings were ground away. If you completely strip down the rifle, you can still find places where some of the insignia remain; such is my K98 with matching serial numbers on the receiver and bolt. Some of these have a very high collector value if the remaining insignia can be used to determine originating factory and manufacture date. I have a bayonet as well but not with a matching serial number. The price you've been quoted seems fair, but you can get some very nice ones with matching numbers at Mitchell's for around the same price.
Ive had several old 98 mausers over the years, including GEW98's K98's and even one of those Yugo models with the short action. All of them were tough as nails, and probably the worst one I had was the yugo.
If you can get a minty K98 for that price I would buy it. It will only go up in price. What you may find hard to get is the little cleaning rods.
If you can ever find one.get it. My personal favorite is my pre-WWII commercial action that actually says 'mauser' across the top, with a VZ24 barrel, a cut down sporterized K98 laminated stock, with a globe front sight and a timminey trigger.and it has the original cross hatched sling on it too! Its the most accurate iron sighted rifle I have ever owned and I have dropped many a wild pig and deer with it, and it looks for all the world like a rigby african plains rifle. Just get the bloody thing. Prices vary a bit but bottom line is, they aren't making any more of them so it's unlikely you're going to lose on the deal over time. If the numbers are good and the barrel is reasonable I can't see how you can lose.
The Mauser 98 is still probably the best bolt action money can buy. Forget all the modern crap.
It's either a cheapened knockoff version of a '98 (M 70) or just plain cheap (Savage, Rem.) or in the case of a lot of the products coming out of western Europe, overly engineered and unnecessarily complex, and still not as good. I bought and sold Russian Captures (RCs) multiple times, about a dozen, saving the earnings to get a Winchester M1 Garand, which I eventually did. I also learned that most RCs weren't battlefield rifles, but were captured in warehouses. I was buying them for less than $200 and selling for about $300. That was about 7-8 years ago. Later I bought a Mauser duv (Berlin-Lubecker) 1942, all original except the bolt, a vet bringback.
He explained that the bolts were removed from when they took prisoners and put into a pile. If they wanted a rifle as a souvenir, they just grabbed a bolt out of the pile.
The Lubeckers were made only shortly into 1942, when the plant changed to G42and G43 production. As I recall IO paid $400 for it out the vet's collection, and thought it was a deal then, about 5 years ago. Now that the RCs have dried up and no longer are being imported, thanks to our overseer-in-chief, $450 for a matching Mauser is a steal, IMHO, no matter the maker, as long as it isn't a Yugo. I have a guy selling a 1941 German k98 in 8mm Mauser, matching numbers with a factory bayonet for $450, as I know nothing about these rifles, is that a good deal? I've always wanted an old Mauser rifle. Here's a picture I would suspect this one. There is no sight guard.
All matching? How about the stock? Does that number match? If not you are about $100 overpriced. If it does, about $200 under except why no sight guard? Does it have the ramrod?
Chances are it is not collector grade, about $700. Receiver, Barrel, Bolt, Bolt handle stock and Bayonet all numbered the same? Check the stamping for alterations. Condition looks NRA good at best, not VG. Can't tell if it's even good without a bore shot. Remember there is a difference between the worth or value and what you can actually sell something for.
You have not exactly specified whether you are looking for a shooter or hunting weapon or just a military rifle to add to your collection. If you plan to actually hunt with it you can do much better with more modern 'used' rifles from pawn shops etc.
The main reason is accuracy due to better design and the ability to easily mount scopes to the rifles and a choice of more popular calibers. Today in most cities the pawn shops are overflowing with guns given up by folks out of work and losing their homes to foreclosure etc. They are selling them cheap. I bought a Rem 700 in 7mag with Nikon scope and leather sling for $325 and I have seen even better deals since.
That said, my first centerfire hunting rifle was a Yugo 8mm for $100 about 15 years ago and I dont think there is a better deal anywhere for a close range (125 yds or less) centerfire hunter. Just be sure to use full power european loaded commercial ammo or else you will be getting just 30/30 power from US loaded ammo. ( or load your own ) I enjoy my Mausers and enjoy disassembling the bolt as much as I do disassembling my 1911 pistol. I dont know if anyone mentioned it but go on GunBroker and GunsAmerica the two biggest on line auction sites and check out the market for Mausers.

Look at the actual sell prices and not the 'asking' prices.
