Jim, It was obvious to me that he didn't have the book and was looking for a price to go by. I could have referenced guns at auction, but that is what it is, an auction to see how much you can get. Just like a car there is an $ss for every seat. The Blue Book is a fair market value based on condition, not mine or yours or people selling because their's is always in better condition than what you have to sell. I should have listed that the .410 brought 400% more the 12 would have but I thought my phrasing was understandable. As far as pricing, who are the experts? Also like I stated anything is only worth want you want to pay for it.
