I would not pay more than a $100 - $150 dollars for one. I had a 290 years ago and the trigger ismake bet not very good on them, it is also hard to do make much better unless you are really good at stoning a sear.

Accuracy ? - On the one I had and one a friend still has is just so-so, about like a bad 10/22 but in the case of the 290 there is not a lot you can do about it. On dirt clods at 25 yds it is pretty good - on paper at the same distance, not so much.
