I'd like to figure out the worth of the stuff I have...

Long story short, I got a new job, and I'm going to college. Job and college require me to have a laptop, and funds are short. I may finance some of it, but I'd like to minimize that if possible, and I dont even know if I can GET financing.

First rifle: 1943 izzy 91/30 with accessories and stuff. Wood has some minor dings, but still beautiful, bore still great, the rifle is a great shooter.

Second rifle: 1945 M44 with cruddy stock. Currently ON it is a nice stock that I refinished myself. Also attached is a B-square scope mount and cheapie BSA red dot. The original sight parts are included as well, as is the original stock.

What could I expect to get for this stuff?

Sorry to say this, but it's not a seller's market for those particular guns. You may get enough $$$ for a tank of gas... maybe. :(

Well, 2 tanks of gas for me.

Dude, it's not worth it. As a C&R licensee, don't get in the habit of selling guns, unless you're liquidating your collection and ending your C&R status.

Keep your guns.

'tis the day of the $50 M91/30 & $40 M44...when new.

Keep 'em, don't give them away, which is roughly what you'll have to do to get rid of them.

Yeah you guys are right. I'd rather use a credit card and use that then sell my guns. I'll see what I can do without selling my rifles.... They cried when they saw my post! :D

Sell plasma or kill the cable TV for a few months.

You'll be money ahead and have fewer regrets.

How much, pray tell, will plasma get me?

Just think about how in 20 years either of your surplus rifles will have more value than your 20 year old laptop that you are about to pay $1,000 for.
