I too was suspicious of the checkering pattern on the BTFE as Pete mentioned.
As others have stated, $4k is a steep number for a G grade in 12g. compared to what you can buy nice original ones for. If this were a 16g or 20g. it would be a different story.
Looking at it from the Book value standpoint, where a restored Gun is in the Very Good Category (even restored to new), the base book value is $3,250 and then add 35% for the Ejectors. That would put it in the $4,300 range. And I am sure the single trigger would add some sort of value in there too. So, the $4k price is still under what is considered BOOK VALUE. But it is not a Bargain Price.
