Default 28 gauge VH pricing.

What would you value this 28 gauge at?

Check out what I found on GunBroker.com! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/739573959

Rode hard and put up wet. No collector value that I can see. If you want to shoot it as is, you have to compare it against other shootable 28's, including reproductions. Maybe 4K, maybe 3.5. Someone might pay more, but not me. JMHO

It has certainly seen a lot of (ab)use...

0-frame size, extractors, possibly a replacement stock? The stock it wears sure doesn't fit at all well.

It would be a very expensive project gun.

I contacted them and know the reserve I was just curious what everyone thought.. Not too many 28 gauges listed on the different sites to figure out a reasonable price.

Also you’re about $10k under what they value it at.

The last time i inquired with that seller, he told me the reserve was around $30,000.

That was about a year and a half ago. And the gun will sit for a lot longer. Just another pawnshop owner looking to get rich.

I bought a similar gun, in much better overall condition, for 6K a few years ago, privately valuing it in my mind as an 8 or 9 K gun. I shot it at clays, it fit and shot well, but it sat in my safe for two years because I always went to my 16 ga guns for birds. I didnt have enough confidence to take out the smaller gauge. I sold it for 6K "buy it now" on GB, just to get my money back out of it and let someone else enjoy the bargain. I dont regret selling it at that price. No way is a shooter VH 28ga worth twice as much as a repro 28 ga. JMHO
