cpete Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Hello, I'm fairly new to the Benelli world and was hoping you could help me with a fair price. I'm looking at buying a friends gun. Its a 12 gauge M1 Super 90 w/ the walnut finish. Probably 3-5 years old. It has normal scratches, and one small chip in the stock. Its far from mint, but still in pretty good condition. Any ideas on a fair price for this gun? I believe there are 3 or 4 chokes that are with it. Does anybody know how many were originally sold with these guns? He said he paid about $1,000 new for it. What should I offer as a fair price? Thanks in advance! Also - Please let me know if you have had good / bad experiences with this gun? I live in MN, so I'm looking at using it mainly for duck hunting and pheasant hunting. -Chris Quote
M1014 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 start deducting $50 for every major scratch,,, ding ,chip ,,etc,,any silly aftermarket non well thought out product on the weapon,,now if he's lucky he might get around 6-650,,for it,,remember ,,they say an item is only worth what your willing to pay for it ,, Quote
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I own one and I LOVE it.Mine is camo and I use have two stocks for it,standard and steady grip.$600-650 sounds more than fair.The lower you can get him down,the more $$$ you'll have to put into goodies like a synthetic stock or M2 cryo barrel! If you so wish. Quote
cpete Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. If you happen to see this again, do you know how many chokes should be included? Thanks, Chris Quote
cpete Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 Thanks - appreciate the info!! Here's my other issue. He originally wanted about $800 for it. Are there any websites out there that show approximate values of Benelli shotguns? Or even websites that sell used guns I could compare this to? Thanks again, Chris Quote
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Guns America .com Google it $800 is on the high side in my area for a used one. $850 is the going rate for a new in box model in FL. You could save for a while more and buy an M2.Run that by your friend.Make sure your friend isn't going to run out and buy an M2 with the mark up they got off of you!LOL Quote
