It's been my experience that how much one can get for a nice shotgun is strongly influenced by how fast the seller wants to sell the item. And Ted is right on target with his comment that doubles are not the hot items they were a decade ago. I'm watching a nice Arrieta 12 gauge on Gun Broker that is currently at about $750 with seven days to go until the auction closes. I'm also watching a 20 gauge DIARM/Sarriugarte sidelock that is at about $400 with seven days until the auction closes. Both would tempt me at under a $1,000, nether at more than that.

All that said I think the present owner could realize somewhere around $3000 for the gun if he was able and willing to wait for the right buyer.

Someone, on this forum, once said that the price of a gun a week from the final bell, is about 1/2 of what it will eventually sell for. I have found that rule to be reasonably accurate, though there are certainly exceptions.

I think that selling the OP's gun for anything under $2k, make that $2.5K, would be pretty much a birthday present for the buyer. 12s are still the greatest gauge out there, and it is not even close.

Barrel length could have a influence on selling price. Did I miss that???

Clearly, not your very first post, brother.

When I was importing both Arrieta and AYA I did not bring in any 12 gauges for stock.20 & 28 ga where what sold for me.

Being in the trade and having to supply customers what they wanted, these were the gauges that sold.

Same for me with the B. Rizzinis, Fairs, Guerinis.
