you have to look atit this way, Eithica was one of , if not the cheapest shotgun's to buy back in the day. My grandfarther was buying them in the company store for 30 to 70$ it's not a gun you really can get alot of money for but the function and the sentimental value that the gun's have for me in general is priceless I own a 16 ga. a 20 ga. and a 12ga. and hunt with them on a regular basis. and beyond a shadow of a doubt they will go to my son. and hopefully his son.
