You can ask opinions, but that limits input to the number of members, about 300 on Fox collector site I think. Their opinions may not include recent sales, rather just what they recalled some years back when they happened to buy one. Best to look at auctions in the not so distant past or wait for future sales to see what the market is doing in actual "sold" guns, not what they are asking. I couldn't find any to match your Fox on Gunbroker in the last 90 days, but did find this AE 20, with a cracked pistol grip, on Gunsinternational (link listed below), but would not be sure of exact selling price since it is not an auction format. I have seen sales on Gunbroker for Fox AE 20s in the selling range of $4400 to $4800, but of course condition defines that price.

That's a beauty!! Snap it up quickly if the price is reasonable!

A AE 20ga in that condition is a $3000. gun (retail) in my opinion. The lacquer finish appears badly chipped (which is not uncommon) and the case color is maybe 10%. I have a list of 20 of our Fox collectors looking for just the gun pictured. Buy it!!

Thanks guys, as Bill stated there are not a lot of these out there for sale and good comps are tough. I know a lot of our Family here cross into these so I figured I would get a good feel.

Cannot agree with Craig more - assuming the price is reasonable (near his estimate) snag it now and wheedle about the small stuff later! A very desirable gun!

Really nice little Fox. I recently picked up a Fox A 20-ejector gun-with a serial # about 1000 earlier than yours. Mine has 26" barrels and the factory order card shows it was ordered at cyl/cyl and 5lb 10 oz.
To help you out, I will tell you that I paid $2500 for mine--wish I could have paid less, but the others I have seen were a good bit more. I would just as soon it had 28" tubes. My Fox A 16 has always been one of my favorites, but I really haven't had much of a chance to shoot this one. Certainly, there are many on this forum, such as Craig, whose opinion I would value.

Unless the seller of this AE 20 you are looking at has been locked away someplace where there is no sales data available, you better be ready to pay a good bit more than $3000, unless you really don't care to own it that badly. Like I said at first, opinions are just that -opinions. Actual sales of late tell me they are going much higher.
