I was involved in a bidding war on Gunbroker a few years back for
1920 20 bore GH -0 frame-straight grip - DT- SFE - 32" "191XXX.
At auctions end I was high bidder at $7,800 If I remember correctly. I was able to renegotiate down to the $6500 range as the gun had a few issues not described in the listing. If pressed, I would have accepted it at the bid price as opposed to returning it. This gun was WELL Used but honest, save some poor stock touch up work.
I would have bought the pinned stock V grade gun that sold for $3200 on this board in a minute had I seen it in time.
The 25% premium is a good number to work with in my opinion. Higher condition guns perhaps even more.
