Value will depend on where you plan to market it for sale. Local sales tend to bring less than online sales that are open to a much larger market. Online, I think you could easily get $1800 - $2200. Locally, it might be difficult to get $1800 unless you can find that one person who must has to have that gun.

 

I agree. I've had a saved search on gunbroker for "XS" for a couple years as I really like that family of guns.

I agree with DEG.

30" 20GA is a fairly desirable configuration if you find the person who really wants it.

 

Thanks for the responses. I may post it in the classifieds. its a nice gun, it just doesn’t fit me well and isn’t best suited for the types of shooting I do.

98% $1600, 95% 1300. This is book value. 28 gauge and .410 worth 10% more. No extra value for 12 or 20 gauge. The gun was discontinued in 2007. 30 inch barrels and invector chokes will hold down value.

Thanks, is that book value a retail value?

 

Are you sure they are Invector chokes and not Invector Plus? Never saw an XS with Invector chokes.

 

You are correct, invector plus.

 

BTW Flush Invector+ chokes were standard on that gun. Full retail new was $2597 for that gun.

 

I've found that gun blue book values often have very little connection to real world values. They seem to lag real world values by several years. Several years ago I easily sold a 12 gauge XS Sporting for $1800. The gun I sold was not in as good of condition as the one you have pictured.

 

Thanks for the input. I kind of wondered that about book value with the way everything has gone up recently. I’d be happy with getting anything near there when I sell it.

 

If you can find a motivated buyer to pay over book value, good for you.

 

Gunbroker listing prices are set by the sellers, for what they are looking for. You need to see closed auctions and the final selling price. And listing and selling on Gunbroker isn't free. Brownings are very popular and reliable guns. But they are pretty much entry level as far as most Citori's go. A Citori isn't a high grade superposed. Anything over book value is a bonus. Gunbroker doesn't set the market. Many people won't buy guns sight unseen. Me included. Walk into any decent gun store and you will find the Blue Book of Gun Values used. A private seller who has a personal/emotional attachment to his/her property sometimes has a hard time determining realistic value.

 

yeah, I understand looking at sold items instead of listed items. However, i was having trouble finding sold items for this gun. No emotional attachment, I just don’t want to cut myself short. I know at the end of the day it’s worth whatever someone will pay. Thanks for the input.

 

How much has it been shot?

If very little, I would price it at $2,400. The Xseries Brownings are very well regarded, and 20 ga. 30" are highly sought after. Yours has great wood and a nice factory case. Prices on guns have sky-rocketed in the last year. Mark it $2000 for a quick sale.

If shot a lot, that will lower the value substantially.

 

Boys here looking for a deal if you ask me. Gun has interesting wood, well taken care of from pics, nice hard case, extra chokes, extra trigger, you can get $2500 for it.

 

People who are good at spending others people's money if you ask me.

 

i tend to agree with DEG. i use the ’books’ for the information (D.O.M. , available barrel lengths etc.) Ive never found the values to be of much use.

 

It's what any reputable gun store or insurance company uses for appraisal. An emotional buyer or seller can cause prices to be skewed high or low. The book has no emotion or attachment to your item for sale.

 

"The book" may have no emotion attached, but it also has no connection to reality. The reasons people value things is completely irrelevant.

Yes, I've seen gun stores show the book values in an attempt to get you to believe their offer is reasonable, but calling them reputable is a stretch. I also had my insurance company offer me a low-ball claim for a stolen S&W revolver based on the book value, when I showed them what they were selling for and ask them to find me one for what they were offering, they increased their payment by $300. Absolutely, insurance companies and gun dealers love the book values that are 2-3 years behind today's real world value.

Throw away the book. They are worthless in determining real value.

 

Just because you own something or favor a certain brand/make doesn't make it more valuable. Most gun shops will only offer 50% of full retail on a trade, used guns are risky. And if they offer more they are making it up on the purchase gun. The gun market isn't the stock market.

No one said it does. That's just the fallacy argument you are using in an attempt to convince people "the book" is the best source for determining gun values and it is not.

Most gun shops will only offer 50% of full retail on a trade, used guns are risky. And if they offer more they are making it up on the purchase gun. The gun market isn't the stock market.

Off course, and if they use "the book" to dupe someone into to thinking it represents the retail value they are in reality giving you 30% or real world retail value in most cases.

 

If you are looking to sell, check local gun shops. One that I frequent sells on consignment for 5% of selling price (minimum of $50) so I can list it for whatever I think it is worth and if it sells, great; if not, I can lower the price of it a bit and try again.

 

And people are never duped when they are buying with an artificially inflated price? Used guns are risky. Most (not all) of them need work. Hence low trade in. Most gun dealers don't even want trades unless it's a steady customer who purchased the trade from them.

 

LOL! Exactly what is an "artificially inflated price" and how does that occur? You seem to have some kind of cult fascination with the gun blue book and want to believe it's a bible.

 

Stephen Fjestad passed away several years ago . Who is updating the blue book now ?
Another question we need to ask ; although the information contained in the Blue book (and others of its kind ) are accurate. How were the valuations reached and how often were they updated.
I’m not sure that the prices set originally weren’t a little subjective and then to update the thousands of entries accurately every time a new edition came out ? I don’t know........

 

Spend the money and buy one, all the questions will be answered. If you had the book the questions are answered on page 2.

 

And made up prices based on your opinions and loyalty to a brand mean nothing. Some day you will understand the psychological effect and the motivation behind the buying/selling of goods. You see stuff listed on auction sites for years and auctions that close with no sale. They mean nothing. Saw it 100's of times with guns. Customer says they paid this and need to get a big number. All because they overpaid or depreciation kicked. Something isn't worth more because you own it.

 

Please, back on helping the OP and enough of the other stuff.
