.28 guage shotguns

Show me these $400-600 1100’s, and I’ll buy every one and turn a $400-600 profit in short order.
I’ve quit trying to figure out why people pay what they’re willing to pay for stuff.

A 28 gauge is rare, but I see them pop up for sale every once in a while and generally bring a premium.

I have an unfired 1100 lite 20 in the safe I gave $400 cash for from a local ad in the newspaper that still had the TG&Y hang tag on it. I don't participate with the insane Gun broker prices.
Just keep my eyes open for local ads or word of mouth that someone is selling a firearm. Picked up several guns from farm auctions. The people are there to buy farm equipment, not guns so sometimes they go reasonably priced. My best score was an unfired Browning Sweet 16 for $700. It's no longer in unfired condition though. It's what I was shooing at the dove hunt. I was told that I could double my money easily on the sweet 16, but I buy guns, I don't sell guns.

Just an update it went for $1500 on gun broker and was able to put a set of tires on my truck and buy a Glock that I will use. I have an MRI scheduled for Monday to figure out why my knee isn't working. I fell Feb 6th and if they replace my knee will be off another 3 months. Hopefully they can fix it.

You got a hell of a deal. Good for you!
I was in the OKC Cabella's yesterday. In the Gun library there was a 28 ga Fausti O/U with receiver engraving for less than you got for that 1100.
I don't do gun broker.

Good deal, glad you got a fair price for the shotgun.

An 1100 28 ga is a pleasure to shoot. I have wanted one for years, but .....

Looks like you found someone really wanting it. GunBroker prices never cease to amaze me.

I have seen and purchased 1100s at the prices hoddy stated. I have seen and scoffed at the GB prices. I don't blame sellers for asking, there are idiots paying.

I talked with the guy who sold that $2500 28 ga. It was nothing special and he was as surprised as anyone at the sale.
