DU "Banquet or Anniversary" special shotguns can be very hard to evaluate, especially in today's soft market.

If you paid, say- $850 for that gun at a DU auction, and kept it "ANIB" unfired and wanted to sell it, I think you would be hard pressed to get that figure. The fact that a Cabela's Gun Library has it for sale, and it hasn't moved in the first 6 months since they bought it, may be one reason for the reduction in asking price. Just my 2 cents worth.

When I have won raffle guns at either DU or PF banquets, I always sell them to a committee member outright for cash-- usually at the price they paid to get that gun-and I write off the price of the raffle ticket--
