I think they are kool. I also really like the old trebark Remington's. Every time i ever spot one they seem to be well used and missing alot of paint. I'd like to find one that someone hasn't fallen in love with and was barely used.

That's just crazy prices, after all it's still just a pump shotgun with a fancy camo job! If I was in the market for one, I'd build my own, that way you can be the one to wear it out!

I've always wanted a mint condition 870 greenleaf to replace one that was in the family, but I refuse to pay these silly prices. I've had plenty of offers on here on greenleaf and trebark 870's and 1187's but good grief I could have a nice new waterfowl gun or other stuff for that price. Most of them are safe queens anywho, these guys buy up 6-8-10 of different old school patterns and never use them, just have them to say they do and gloat on the boards.

Be prepared to fork over about 800 bucks.

If its mint or near mint with almost no wear, buy it and flip it on gun broker for about 800 bucks.

Beretta Outlander gets you allot more for your money. The old 870's we have we payed $200-250 for them. The older barrels are much better patterning than the new ones I have found but paying that much for basically the old camo pattern doesn't make any sense. You can buy an older 870 and have it dipped in original bottomland and come out 3-4 hundred dollars cheaper.

I waterfowl hunt with an outlander A350 and A300, they are amazing shotguns for the money and can be had for the same price or cheaper than what that 870 went for! William made a choke for the A300 and it will toss just as good if not better pattern than my current 870.
