870 Police Magnum

[ARG]

Question. One of my Remington shotguns is an 870 Police Magnum, parkerized with factory installed shell extension and wood furniture. Just saw a couple of these on Gunbroker and it looks like the price has gone crazy high. Is this true and it worth way more than before? I bought it new many years ago and have not shot it. Wonder if I'm sitting on a gold mine. I'm 73 and way too old to shoot it now.
Thanks,
ARG

Not sure about gold mine but gunbroker seems to be the thing to go off of to price items now.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Someone had one listed for over $1200.

If you feel like going the extra mile of boxing and shipping through and to an ffl, there’s some money to be made on GB if you have stuff to move. Find an ffl that will pack and ship for you at a reasonable price and sell away!

No, I wouldn't want to do any of that. I would just sell it here to another OSA member if I wanted to sell it. It's still new in the box.

But what did it actually sell for (if it sold at all)?
IMO there's a lot of crazy on Gunbroker with buyers and with sellers too.

I bought some guns and sold them off(I know, I know its hard to believe). What I did for fair market Oklahoma value is, went to sold items, found one's in like condition, then found the cheapest one, and then subtract $100 for the price.

I’ve got a ten year old version of the Rem 870 Police Magnum, black synthetic stock. I upgraded the butt stock to a Knox Recoil Reducing Pistol Grip and a Streamlight forend. Base shotgun cost a little over $400. Very pleased with it. Everyone ought to own one I think.

Listing one and selling one are two very different things
