You can buy a brand new one at midsouth for 430, I know these retain a lot of their value, unfortunate for me because I've been looking, but I wouldn't pay more for a used one.
You're in error - T/C production of the Cherokee/Seneca/Patriot line halted many years ago, when their production building, with all the dedicated machinery & plans, burned to the ground.
While .45 cal Cherokee/Seneca rifles usually change hands in the $400 range, the smaller bores are quite a bit more valuable, with the .32's usually bringing 125%-150% .45 cal prices, and the .36 cal's about 200% of the .45 cal price - presuming NIB (or close) condition.
While it easy to spout numbers, the proof's in the pudding - anything is worth exactly what someone else is willing to pay for whatever, TODAY.
The best selling venue is a widely-attended online, guns-only auction (like gunbroker, gunauction,etc) - which can be surfed to find out how much another .32 Cherokee in similar condition to yours has actually sold for recently.
BTW - "opening bid", and "buy-it-now" prices are NOT values, they are only seller speculations.
