If it's in decent shape, that's a good price.
To check a double gun out; open it hold the barrels by the end and twist rapidly back and forth like you are trying to shake something off of it. Now, close it; take the forearm off and twist the barrels and receiver in opposite directions. With both tests, nothing should be heard or felt. Sometimes, sling hangers rattle.
Now break the gun apart and hang the barrels on your finger by the hingh pin hook and thump each barrel in three places. It should have a ring to it with no vibrations. You may have to rest your thumb on the extractor; sometimes they vibrate.
Look at the muzzles. If they meet, it's a sign they haven't been cut. Put a choke guage in the muzzles regardless of what is stamped on the barrel flat. If the barrels were cut, it would probably read cyl/cyl.
