Title: Old School Greenleaf Remington 870 Special Purpose 12
Post by: alabama90 on March 10, 2015, 05:43:53 PM
I just bought this older Remington 870 in Greenleaf camo at a local auction and was wondering how much yall thought it was worth?  I'm just curious to see what kind of deal I got.  Its a 3" 12 gauge special purpose and looks to have been made in 1993.  Came with a Truglo choke tube as well. Let me know what you think.  Thanks

It's worth $50. I'll give you $100  :TooFunny:

Nice find. If you decide to sell it PM me. I'd be willing to haggle a price. That's a nice find.

Man I tell ya, whenever I go to auctions all I ever seem to find is some rusty old single shot 410 or 22. Some guys have all the luck.

All depends on what someone is willing to pay for it. I paid $320 for mine a couple years ago and it is in excellent shape

If it's in excellent shape (90-100%)  $ 400.00 - 450.00

 Well in my neck of the woods I would say around $250 to $300. Its a 3" gun.
I see alot of combo's(slug barrell/shot barrels) in the $350 to $400 range and most are Express Mag.
I just bought a 870SP Super Mag/thumb-hole in Mossy Oak Obsession camo for $300.
I know some area's of the country may be higher on used guns but in West Central Indiana gun prices are fairly low and selection and type of guns and number of the same kinds keep them lower in price I would say.

It's the camo pattern that people want in this gun

Nice score, I'd say $350+, around here camo guns seem to bring less! There's just not a big market for them, and shotguns seem less popular for general hunting than they were 15-20yrs ago, pawn shops seem to always have twice as many than rifles.

doesn't matter  as long as your happy with it those old school guns can be hard to find especially if you have a craving for one   the 11-87s go from 400 to 850$ on gunbroker but you can luck up and find a deal every once in a while if your patient... :OGturkeyhead:

I love it, great find! $ would start at $300 in my view. ~20+ years old. Don't they say that the older Remingtons are better?

Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it. It sounds like I paid about right for it then. It's not perfect with some camo missing on the receiver but it's in good shape. I bid $270 but with auction fees and tax it was about $320
