Going to sell an 870, but have no idea for how much.

[gravyboat]

So I've decided to part with one of the flock. I know I once said you can never have too many 870s, but I need room for another purchase. I have no idea how much to ask for the one I'm selling.
Here's what I've got;
870 Express receiver.
Metal trigger group with a VCS oversized safety, Wingmaster chromed bolt.
18" parkerized Remington barrel with an XS big dot bead.
Wolff mag spring with an S&J follower.
Remington rear and speedfeed fore stock with an S&J slingplate.

Any recommendations on an asking price?

How many rounds thru it?

 

[gravyboat]

The barrel has 25 rounds though it since it was polished and parkerized. The receiver is an unknown, I got it on a trade.

 

[VLT79]

$300 to $350.

 

[hillside42]

400

I'd say around $400, but don't be in a rush. If someone is looking for something a lot like that, they will pay the $400. If they want it to change the barrel or stock etc, they will want it for less.

Keep in mind people will be thinking that a new Express is $360 and will conveniently forget about taxes and shipping.

Post it at 400$ and you'll probably sell it around 350$. Like others said, you can get a new 870 express for 379$-399$ plus tax.

A new express, 26 or 28" barrel is 309 plus tax regular price at a non supporting big box type dealer. Wait for remington to have their yearly rebate and it covers the tax as well.

Sold it to a friend (new shooter) for $275.

That was generous of you. I hope your buddy realizes the deal he got. I have no problem making or taking great deals, as long as they get paid forward.

I like the new shooter part....that's worth taking a lil beating on the price to get a fellow Canadian involved in firearms.................

AND it pisses of the lefty's!! lol


Kudos to you Sir.

If I was that friend I would take you out for a beer. Your choice, even an import.

Actually when he came by to pick it up I gave him a drink of JW Double Black.
