Help with shotgun value

[abunaitoo]

Friend dropped off another firearm to try and sell this weekend at the Gun show.
I'm not into shotguns. Have no idea why they are so expensive.
It a Browning Citori Upland Field Special, over/under, 12GA 2 3/4", 24" barrel, Invector screw in chokes.
This one is in almost new condition. No ware I can see anyplace.
Any ideas on value????

The buy price on this one is about right for this gun.

I'd say somewhere in the $1000-$1200 range. The 24" barrels hurt it somewhat by limiting it to hunters only. Target shooters are more into 28-30" barrels and the Citori is a popular gun in all the shotgun games.

Thanks guys.
I know nothing about shotguns.
I have a 500 Mossberg for home. Shot it maybe 10 times.

I agree here ^^ I use to compete in Trap shooting, I owned a Browning Citori XT Trap with 32" barrels, most of the serious Trap guys shot 30-34" barrels, the shorter barrels will appeal more to hunters, and possibly 5 stand and sporting clay shooters. This 1000-1200 range sounds about right

IMHO they are one of the best upland shotguns ever produced. I have one that has 26" fixed IMP./MOD. chokes. It will sell in a snap if you find an upland bird hunter and it will fetch $1000 to $1200 pretty easy I would think. If you were closer than HI I would be seriously interested myself!:bigsmyl2:
