Questions about a VH grade.

Your doing him more of a favor then hes doing for you if you pay his price , Sorry but if I wanted a gun to stay in my family I would and will give it to someone . Not trying to be disrespectful in any way. Maybe show him the prices you were given here

You can not place a dollar amount on sentimental value. For a 12 gauge VH to be worth that much it would have to be in really nice shape. With alot of case colors showing and the rest of the gun in almost unused condition. I would probably get off a few Christmas card lists if I sold family members $1000.00 dollar shotguns for $2000.00. But this happens all the time in the store. Someone brings in Grandpas old gun that for years they have been told was worth a gazillion dollars and I have to be the bad guy when I burst there bubble. Just compare it to the guns you see for sale on the gun auction sites that are similar to yours. But even then it is best to check completed sales, some of those guns have been for sale for a long time.
