Give him a, within reason, low ball offer (if you figure the guns worth 3K offer him 2K) and when he turns it down ask him to quit screwing around and tell you what he wants for it. Be a little put out "well you asked me to make an offer, what's the problem..." be a little offended that he didn't take your generous offer. Two people can play that tired old game.
JMHO.

PS as far as hard kicking guns go I have a 5# 16 gauge that I hunt and shoot sporting clays with and I love it! Some people are recoil sensitive some aren't, I guess I'm just lucky!
