Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Beretta 687 EELL Valuation

I'm unsure if I will sell this, but am looking for some qualified opinions on an asking price if it makes sense. I purchased it new, 6-7 years ago. It's a very beautiful shotgun, but I'm scared to death to use it. I'm more of a field grade guy. With that said, I'm somewhat disheartened to see how low the resale value is on these. I have exactly 103 rounds through it, 4 roounds of trap, one dead pheasant, two dead chukars, and it's been cased/safed for the past 5-51/2 years. Is $6500 too much to ask? My local store would take 20% off of that, so I'd be close to taking a $3000 hit from what I paid. I know used guns are used guns, but I had no idea something like this wouldn't hold some more value. Is it due to Beretta commoditizing them? The condition is LN-, with the exception of some very minor wood impressions on the foreend from my wedding ring. 687 EELL, 3" 12ga, 26.5" bbl's, case and all tubes/accessories as shipped from Italy. Snipe/Woodcock one side, Pheasants on the other.

Thank you, I will!

The market is quite soft now, especially for shorter barrel lengths. I would estimate the value on today’s market at about $5000.

There is little wrong with liking and using good gear. You are going to lose at least 30% of the purchase price if you sell now. Scratches can be fixed for much less than that if it comes to that.

You still appreciate it, then use it. If not, then be prepared to take the hit.

Barrel length is going to be a factor for sure. You might want to try http://robinhollow.com and https://www.colegun.com.
