Thanks Raimey, that was my thought as well. Tried it. Looked through the safe and grabbed a couple that I could honestly say I would be happy to trade. A problem with that is he's focused on rifles, not shotguns and I don't have rifles. He's gone away for a month or two. Cabin on an island off the grid. So it's not going anywhere in a hurry. I believe his interest in it for himself is as a curio. But if he sells it, I suspect he wants to maximize his return to direct the funds to where his real interest lies. I'd be doing the same.
Thanks for all who chimed in with a price. So far ranged from a low of $200 to a high of $1500 with an average from the nine who posted a number of $720.
As someone said many times, it's worth what someone will pay on any given day. With 10 of us coming up with a number, I can see a consensus from what I would describe as knowledgeable SxS enthusiasts. Thank you.
