Admittedly I did buy mine a while ago, and for less than $1,000. (Actually a couple of hundred less.) I purchased mine specifically because of the wet weather experienced in Coastal BC and its fit, it is very similar to my Browning that I shoot regularly and being a multi-choke shotgun it is versatile too.
Few appear to come up on the EE, so you may well have a more accurate assessment of the current value. I think few come up because they are well regarded? I certainly would not consider selling mine as it is such a useful gun which I now use for upland game, clays and grouse.
