Wish I had one to sell
One forum member was buying 21" 1187s up like they were going out of style last year. He's probably laughing all the way to the bank.
Need Remington to start making more models. These prices are out of control.
I have this gun in the old trebark camo if someone really want it they can shoot me a PM with an offer
A fool and his money comes to mind, but to each his own I guess.

You win the post of the day!
No REMINGTON is worth anything close to that! Too funny.

This is my thoughts exactly.
3 Things Come to MIND
1. USED!
2. SERIOUSLY!!
3. NO WAY!!!
Yea, they are fetching big dollars...
Buyers Market .... Don't forget you can't sell or buy firearms on the forum...
I'm selling this if anyone's interested

I was thinking that same thing earlier.

You would look pretty spiffy in your Fox vest toting that 1187. Better hunting through aggressive spending!
And believe it or not, the Greenleaf 870 in mint condition could break that mark.....WOW
Is it nostalgia or is there something mechanically superior about these models that set them apart from the other 1187 out there. Seems like it would be easy enough to buy a plain one and have sumtoy chop and thread it then have it dipped in bottomland.
And if you walk in the right hunting store or pawn shop you can buy one for $500. Ain't life something!
Im thinking about jumping in and bidding on that!!! NOT
I saw one of these a year ago in a gunshop for $500. Without box, but dang.
I could buy 2 of the new Bone Collector guns for that price. Or, 4 sessions with a shrink to tell me how crazy I am! I'll go with the shrink!!!
Well, this is a world record sale for an 1187 Greenleaf for sure. With 3 hrs left on Gunbroker it's up to $4,325.00. Unreal.........

I wish I would have got that for mine when I sold it. But thats pocket change for a lot of people, I never would pay that because I am in the middle class blue collar % but I don't see why others have issues with how people spend their money in life. I could buy 7-8 turkey guns I actually liked for that price. I love the hunt for guns people want and If I can purchase them for a price where it is beneficial to me, in a personal or business area of my life I buy them because I enjoy it.
100%, agree. If someone loves something and has the financial wherewithal to be able to buy it, god bless them. That's what life is all about.......I posted this so all the Old Remi collectors hear encouraging info that their investment equities are climbing in leaps and bounds.....Kudos
I havent seen any in almost a year, I must have hit the jackpot last winter and early spring, I did well, I still have 3 of the older Rem's I bought and more than doubled my profit on both I sold, I have still never seen an old 870 in bottomland or greenleaf, I've been looking too, Im ready to snatch up 1-2 Rem's this year as I have been good and only picked up a Browning bps .410 with the 24" and a Weatherby Element 20 gauge with the 22".
I sold a BL 1187 2 years ago in good condition for 500 ,,, should've waiting a while I reckon ?
After seeing this, don't be surprised if you see another one showing up just like it.

Ah man.. a guy could go on an African safari for the price of that kind of equipment.. Crazy how even hunting, what was once something many did just to survive, is now becoming a rich man's game.
I wouldn't buy one for that price, but I'd sure sell one for that price. :icon_thumright:
Final price $5,725 :o
Don't worry there is another one up already.

I hate that I passed on a new 1187 20 gauge turkey gun several years back. They seem to be in high demand too.
But the little gun weighed a lot, so I didn't buy it. I was thinking turkey shooter, not investment.
Damn I have a 11-87 special purpose should sell it

The Greenleaf 870's are just as popular. Would love to see what a mint one would fetch now. I won't sell mine....
