I dunno what your intent with this thread is, but if you're trying to sell it here, you need to post it in the classifieds.

I think he wants us to tell him what it's worth. And I'm sure he thinks it's more valuable than it is so this could get interesting.

Cabela's in Kansas City has one in their gun library for $2600.

Keep and shoot. Clays snob with it if you must.

Re: A5 "sweet sixteen" no one can handle
It's what I call a tweener- 4500 made so it's not really rare + maybe a little too nice to drag through the briar patch= tough sell.
Value, check the completed auctions at gunbroker and gunsinternational where the gun actually sold. What you'll likely notice is a large spread between the ask and the bid.
A5s are what I call a "generational favorite", the pool of buyers that hold the humpback in high esteem is shrinking- stagnant prices reflect that fact.
You might find more interest at Browning or 16 gauge dedicated sites.
YMMV, good luck.

Re: A5 "sweet sixteen" no one can handle
Because they are in business to make a profit. If they turn over a bunch of cash to you and it sits there for a couple of years they lost money. The gun is an unusual item so not many shoppers would be interested in buying it.I recently tried to sell a beautiful firearm that no local shop will accept.Why? They can't come up with a price or they're too cheap to pay mine.Please Help!
You can always put it up on consignment at a gun shop and see how you make out with that. I think we already know.My Feedback - http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.ph...ight=stainless

Re: A5 "sweet sixteen" no one can handle
Here is what I found:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=543607356 No bids at $1400, No BIN at $2100
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=550895762 Relisted multiple times no bids and with no reserve $2295
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=538374255 This one actually sold- for $1550
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=540581300 This one sold for $1825
The two that sold had no reserves and a low starting bid. That is the only way you will sell this IMO. Start the auction at $1000 with no reserve and you might get $1400-1800 (or more) for it. GunBroker is a pretty exact science.
