I bought an 11-87 premier a long time ago from a friend, because it was a good deal. I haven't shot the thing in at least 5 years, and there are several other guns that I'd rather have than another shotgun (i have 2 870's). Any idea on what it might be worth, or where I can look to find a value? It is an 11-87 premier. It has a 18 or 20 " Rifle sight smooth bore barrel, 26 or 28" vent rib barrel with 3 or 4 chokes, and a 18" or so cantilever scope mount rifled barrel. It is in great shape, which is why I never use it, I'm afraid of taking it out in the woods during deer season and dinging it up.
I was always a big believer in the "you don't sell guns" theory, but this one just sits in the safe, and I'd rather get another M1 garand or carbine to take it's place. |
| In good-to-excellent condition, and with one barrel, they typically go for $400-500 on GunBroker. Your extra barrels are probably worth another $100 each, but you may have a hard time finding a buyer for the whole package. I'd sell the gun and spare barrels separately, either on GunBroker or here on the EE. There is a guy in the AZ HTF who is looking for one to use in 3-gun... he might take the gun and one barrel off your hands if the price is right. |
| Thanks for the replies. I need to decide if I want to sell it all together, or try to sell off the barrels separately. I'm still having a hard time bringing myself to sell a gun, even though it's one I rarely use. I'm sure as soon as I get rid of it I'll want to get back into trap or skeet. |
