acmf74 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 A shop by me is selling a USED SBE (not II). It's finished in black and doesn't have the comfort tech system. Supposedly it is in like new condition. What a fair price for this gun? Thanks. Quote
Remy Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 If it is like new with the accessories it is supposed to come with, $800.00 might be a figure. Some people such as I myself like the SBE better than the SBE II, so I think that helps keep the value up, particularly if it is a pristine example.

mudhen Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Fair for a gunshop would be $899. For whatever reason, the SBE I has held it's value. I think it's all the hype that the SBE II is not that great, which has been untrue for me. I have owned SBE I's since 1990, and my SBE II outpatterns every SBE I that I have ever owned or tested. The Crio Chokes work better for me for ducks and especially turkeys. I really appreciate all the improvements. Fair for private party might be closer to $700. I've seen like new SBE I's go for $600. I sold a like new SBE I with two barrels (26" reg & slug) + the mercury recoil reducer and Kicks turkey choke for $1000. I'd buy an SBE II for $1099 before I bought any SBE I, used or new... mudhen - CA Quote
T Reed Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Mudhen, I have been looking for an SBE II-26" for a couple of months. Best price I find is $1235 on gunbroker (Max4). Can't find any matt under 1200.00. Please tell me where you are finding $1099????? Thanks. Quote
mudhen Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 All over the country at local shops via in-store promotions. A dealer in Alaksa was $999! The problem is Benelli's MAP agreement that does not allow dealers to Advertise a Price below a certain Minimum level. The MAP agreement is the key to being a Benelli dealer. You will not see the super low prices advertised, you just have to keep checking local shops for specials and/or coupons, etc. Several shops here have 10% coupons that can be used on guns. I hear Gander, Bass Pro, and Cabelas also have in-store promos. Bass Pro had a sale last year on Timber SBE II's - I think they were $1249 at retail. mudhen - CA Quote
