Shotgun Value

[slowr1der]

I'm asking for a friend that has two shotguns he is considering selling.

One of them is a Mossberg 500C 20 gauge in full camo. It's an old style camo that looks like a design you'd paint on, not the new real tree style. He said he bought it new like this, and I've seen a few others online. I'm pretty sure this is a youth model as it has either a 22" or 24" barrel. It had fiber optic sights, and the front sight is still there, but on the rear sight the fiber optics fell out. The rest of the site is still there and useable though.

The next is a Mossberg 500E .410 field model with wood stocks.

Both are in nice shape. Any idea what these two are worth?

I would say around $150 for the 20ga, and $225 for the .410.

The above is a good starting point, depends on where you live, around here with the economy being bad lots of people are selling guns cheap and not many have money to buy. For example I bought an older 870 Wingmaster 12GA in near mint condition a couple of weeks ago for $225, the Wingmaster had been listed for sale for 3 or 4 days on a popular state gund message board when I bought it (asking price was $250), also one of my inlaws bought 4 guns for $200 about a week ago (don't know the details yet).
