I don't think I would ever sell mine as my Grandfather bought it new, never even came out of the box before he had a stroke.
But I think a fair value on new in box never shot would be around $2250.00-$2700.00 depending on the market.

Those values you quote are values that that would be fetched in US$. The average BSS in 20 gauge sporter sells for 2050 US$ or 2700$ CDN. A new in the box would most likely go for around 2700$US, well over 3 grand $CDN
Well enough said about this thread for me. Enjoy your shotgun

Do not confuse what a gun might sell for in Canada based on what the dollar to dollar exchange rate is on a US price. The market in Canada is not near the same as the US, generally meaning it is much lower.

Gunsaholic is correct.

Go pick any SxS, in any condition. Figure out what the going rate is in the US, as suggested above. Convert that into Canadian funds and list it for that price on the EE. Good luck selling it.

I think that was Dogbites point in his post.

You didn't pass on it! It was sold before you tried negotiating via this thread.

And for Hoytcanon;
"I have owned more than a dozen BSS shotguns, both Standard and Sporters...
The Sporters are more valuable, have straight English style, oiled stocks... the 26" guns are choked Mod/IC and the 28" guns are choked F/M........
which means there is something odd about the gun you are considering being a 26" F/M???"

For a person that claims to have owned more that a dozen BSS shotguns, both Standard and Sporters, one would think that you would have had at least one owners manual and would really be "well informed" on this variety of shotguns. So with this in mind, I suggest to you to check out page 19 on the following link to the BSS owners manual. On this page you will see the stamp codes for the shotgun bores on the BSS models. Please note stamp imprint * is for full bore and ** is for modified. Those are the markings that adorned the underside of the respective 26 inch barrels.

As a note, I have to be honest here. There was/is a crack at the last screw on the tang. I didn't notice it until after the O/P pointed it out. The area is a small knot that ran vertical to the grain of the wood and the knot ran a deeper reddish brown color than the rest of the stock. I can tell you that the cracks (that's right, there are 2 that ran slightly parallel to each other and were microscopic). One started where the other ended. Separated by 1 mm, one measuring 5 mm, the other 3 mm, most likely a factory occurrence. Only detectable under magnification such as only a zoomed in video or photo would reveal. The other two imperfection were equally minuscule, however it sported a recoil pad. The video I supplied, taken with a cell phone did not do justice to the metal work.
However, these flaws were pointed the lady that bought it and she was pleased with her purchase.

If a prospective purchaser or seller is not happy with an item, they should confine their bargaining to private messages, email or phone calls or walk away. To gain leverage via a erroneous bargaining thread is not of good intention.

So, Am I to understand that YOU are the clown that listed this gun as "MINT???" Thanks... one more for the ignore list.

For a guy with 117 posts and 1 trader rating since 2005, you would certainly think you’d have less of a attitude issue! You really missed the mark on your username...... dogsh!t would have been more appropriate.

What makes you think I give a crap about anything you are saying?

You stand out here on CGN with having no etiquette at all. IMO it is simply rude and pathetic.

The EE depends on words having meaning. To have described the gun in question as “mint” removes the meaning of of term, lessening it’s value in any and every ad. Dogbite should have accepted the comments and learned something rather than aggressively defend himself. And you should have stayed out if it.
