Anyone have one of these guns, and what do you think they are worth on todays market?

Browning Superposed Broadway Trap
12ga

bought 2 years ago, was owned by a collector, was unfired.


Now has about 200 rounds through it but is in mint condition/ no safe kisses


thanks in advance
 
Depends a bit on the year it was made, and the grade, and any accessories such as a case. Trap or skeet guns don't command a premium - from your description 1200 - 1400$.
 
A Belgian Broadway with 32 inch barrels is worth more than one in same condition with 30 inch barrels.
One with a long tang is worth more than one in same condition with short tang.

I'd agree with that estimation for a 32" gun with $1,000-$1,200 for a 30 inch model. This assumes it's not a salt wood gun in which case reduce the estimate by 50 per cent.
 
I see it listed for $2.300.00 good luck why would you even bother posting a value question when u already knOw whatu are going to price it at. I found 3 at different dealers for $1000-$1.500

I haven't seen any in even close to this kind of condition.

one just sold at Epps for $1600 marked as "good" condition
 
Also Prophet River has one for sale at $2400. on consignment.

I wasn't sure what to price it at so why wouldn't I start on the higher side. I'm not in the business of giving things away.


If it doesn't sell I can always come down, I'm in no rush to sell it.
 
I sometimes respond to valuation questions if I think I have something useful to say. I fully support the idea that one should be able to ask some questions here and then do what you want.

No law says you need to take our advice. You asked, the board answered. Good enough.
 
No wonder the EE has the reputation it does. Trolling for suckers who don't know any better.

One can only hope if someone sees this Superposed that he comes here and learns the gun is nothing special and is overpriced.
 
People ask for valuations because they are hoping they will be told it is worth "MORE" than they "THINK" it is... they will list it at what they originally thought if they are told it is worth less... they will JACK the price if they are told it is worth more.

Personally, I think these types of posts are just cross-promotion fishing... hoping to receive offers by PM... how hard is it to type the model in google? Surely easier than posting... and how long does google take? Surely faster than waiting on CGN geezers to type responses...

I remember some time ago, a youngish fellow found an old Win pre-64 .30/30 in his deceased grandfather's home... he thought; "Pre-64! This is gold!" He asked a valuation question on the Hunting & Sporting Arms board... he said it was the "rifle" in "excellent" condition, a few responded with numbers (high)... some asked for pictures... when the pictures were posted, the gun was a "carbine" in poor condition... the posted numbers dropped exponentially... the young fellow listed it at the highest "pre-photo valuation" without pictures, described as "excellent" condition... I decided to stop giving valuation quotes... UNLESS I can inspect the item in my hands. JMO.

I might as well post the pics here too...








 
The thing about consignments of course , is that the owner sets the price not the shop!
Price are set at what someone thinks the item is worth and also what someone else is willing to
pay.
i like the " older" FN Brownings but stop at 1960 and prefer the mid 50's guns just because.
I won't go near a mid 60's to 70's gun just because unless it is very unusual.
A boxed gun for instance makes no difference to me because I shoot my guns , but a hard Browning case is an added bonus.
Wes Winkle ( Epps owner) told me a long time ago BTW , that they under evaluate their guns a bit so that there are very few
"ship backs", or I satisfied customers. In that case a gun on their site set at very good would likely be graded as excellent by someone else .

IMO, it is not worth what you are asking... but it is a nice gun, in good condition... and I am sure someone will put it into service, at the appropriate price. Good luck with your sale.
 
It easy to do a Google search but unfortunately 98% of the info found fit firearms comes from the USA. Our gun culture and market is totally different than theirs. The Winchester Model 12 is a good comparison...sold as junk here but as a premium there.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting you but you say that like there is something wrong with hoping our item is worth more than we think. Would anyone ever hope it was worth less? What we do with the info is another matter.

Whether it's the EE or gunbroker or Cabelas or any shop selling used guns, there will be a variety of pricing strategies. Often riddled with ignorance. But so what? Doesn't mean seller is some kind of crook. Be an educated buyer. This is true for any market for any product anywhere in the world.

I don't get the #####ing about the EE or sellers' pricing strategies.

I DO get the #####ing about people who say " I'll take it" and then renege. That was last week.

I DO get #####ing about people who don't / won't provide proper info and pictures.

I DO get people who don't bother putting even the most basic information in their PM's. Like what item they are referring to. This morning.

And I DO get #####ing about people who agree to sell you the firearm listed at an agreed price and then renege, most likely because they think they can get more later. Last fall.

But pricing? The market takes care of that.
