I think it has desirable condition too. You should offer your friend a fair price - something he will be more happy with than you will be to pay it, but something that won't come between your friendships with each other.

I did already. I think the shock of realizing it never was a 4k gun has to set in first. I would like to have this gun, I don't need to have it.

It IS a bit unsettling perhaps to have a shotgun that might have peaked at 3k several years ago and find that over time, it has gone down a grand, and not up a grand. Not the way things are supposed to work.

I will say my friend is well off enough that he doesn't necessarily need the money. If I were in his situation, given that I've treated to many a meal, drink, and cigar over the years, I'd just do it. But, then again, I'm not over 80 and may feel differently when I reach a ripe old age.
