Default Current Blue Book values are high

Would the fetching price vary, assuming same condition, from a 0 (std 20 frame size) to the 1 (std 16 frame size)? The same farm area auctioneers sold some LeFevers, an Ithaca Single Trap gun and two LC Smiths in June, the Ithaca brought $900 hammer price, and no seller's premium (unusual) just a 10% buyer's premium, so the gent that bought the Ithaca SBT paid $990-- The LeFevers and Smiths were a mix of 12 and 16 gauge guns, all DT and std. manual extractors, good condition, no cut barrels- they all brought between $600 to $725. The Winchester .22's were the top money guns at that auction.

The farmer told me that the Parker 16 was engraved with bird dogs and birds- but it has Vulcan Steel barrels- he didn't want to open it up and remove the barrels and the forearm and give me the identification data from the water table and barrel flats and lug (sn matching?) so I wondering if it was a higher grade that had Damascus barrels, and was re-barreled with the Vulcan Steel barrels at a later point in time. In my neck of the woods, Damascus barreled shotguns, whether with outside hammers or hammerless, are called "Wall Hangers" and are priced accordingly.
