A big part of the price they are asking is the condition of the guns. In "very good" condition, an 870 Wingmaster should go for about $100 less. I bought one in "good" condition a couple years ago for $175. So you are paying a little bit of a premium for a gun that is in "as new" condition. Once you hunt with it a few times, it will depreciate. If this is going to be a working gun, I would get a new 870 Express and have the option of the Rem-chokes and the Simm's recoil pad. It is also a lot less reflective; an advantage if you are hunting waterfowl or turkeys.
