I have a chance to buy one of these all of which are around the same price.

Marlin 60 with 3x9 scope,2,000+ rounds of ammo, ATI Dragonov stock, and a bore snake.

Marlin 980v with scope and case

or

Yugoslavian Mauser 24/47 with some ammo.

Which of these should I buy? I already have a Kar 98, and a 10/22! Should I buy or skip on all of these?
 
Get the 980V. You already have one 8mm Mauser and one .22 semi-auto. Unless your 10/22 is a tricked out tack driver, the bolt action will easily outshoot it and it's really nice to have a few truly accurate rifles.
 
I'd lean toward the 8mm.

Another good idea would be to put the entire pot towards ammo for rifles you already have. The stuff isn't going to get any cheaper anytime soon.
 
Get the Mauser, eventually the availability will dry up. Get one while the prices are reasonable and make it into sporter in a caliber that you like or leave it stock for posterity.

Well you already have a Mauser in the Kar98, the yugo isn't all that different. And you already have a semiauto .22 (I don't particularly like semitauto .22's though) So I'd say a good .22 bolt gun is what you need.
