Armored Farmer is correct.
A well preserved wall hanger...maybe as high as $300, but ...., assuming the rifling isn't roached from improper cleaning, $250-$275. They were birch or beech stocked. No actual figure in the wood. Some guys could really dress up a kit, but normally they were good small game guns..., except...,
...., the .32 tends to be a pain in the arse, unless you get a field/range rod for them. Very small diameter wooden ramrods often mean it's only a matter of time until you snap the thing. Most of the guys I know who have a .32 instead of a .36, have something like a nylon or Delrin ramrod for hunting, or target shooting. They absolutely love 'em, but they admit the ramrod is a problem.

Ok, maybe they have a following. I like mine, and have had many squirrel hunts with it until a resurrected a family heirloom .40.I dunno, guys, the last couple I saw on gunbroker went for north of 400 plus shipping.
P.T. Barnum had a saying about prices that people paid for things.... Many folks don't know Barnum was speaking about himself when he made the famous quote....I dunno, guys, the last couple I saw on gunbroker went for north of 400 plus shipping.

I recently saw a wishful seller price his used, Japanese "collector" Brown Bess, for $1000.00 + shipping ( A newly found or made Jap Bess -from a kit or a lovingly preserved wall hanger--, never fired, with an upgraded ramrod, should go for at most $900.00...a used Jap Bess is more like $700-$800)
The question was how much are they worth, not is there somebody that will pay too much for such a rifle. Why would one buy a used CVA .32 with the replacement parts drying up..., paying four-bills ..., when a new .32 Crockett from Traditions goes for $419 when on sale? https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1015810760

Looking at the outside doesn't tell you squat about the condition of a black powder rifle in my opinion.
