RE: model 11 remington
Less than an A-5, I couldn't say for sure since it would depend on your area. I wouldn't pay more than 500 bucks for a real nice one.
Head on over to shotgunworld.com and someone will let you know for sure. There are a few guys there that are specialists with the browning A-5's and its variants or clones.
They are great guns but I don't think resale value is as high as an actual A-5. I have an A-5 and love it, the model Eleven from remington is basically the same gun. Not everyone likes them though. If you could get a chance to shoot one, or an A-5 first it would be nice.

RE: model 11 remington
YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO PAY BETWEEN $250-$300 FOR ONE IN GOOD TO REALLY NICE SHAPE. YOU ALSO CAN EXPECT TO PAY BETWEEN $500-$600 OR MORE FOR SOMETHING EXCETIONAL.I HONESTLY WOULD NOT PAY THAT MUCH FOR THE MODEL 11. ALTHOUGH ALMOST ENTIRELY THE SAME, THE RECIEVER IS SLIGHTLY LARGER ON THE MODEL 11 (BUT NOT BY MUCH) AND ALSO THE CAP ON THE MAGAZINETUBE IS DIFFERENT ALSO. THE MODEL 11'S IS SLIGHTLY TALLER THE A-5 IS A BIT MORE PETITEAND APPEARS MORE NEAT AND COMPACT. THE ENGRAVINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (IF THERE IS ANY AT ALL ON THE MODEL 11) TYPICALLY THE MODEL 11'S WHERE BLANK OR HAD A GAME SCENE ON THE SIDE (UNLESS IT WAS A HIGHER GRADE) I HAVE SEEN F GRADES GO FOR $8,000 AT GUN SHOWS. THE A-5'S TYPICALLY FEATURE SOME SCROLL WORK AND HAVE AN IMAGE OF JOHN BROWNING ON THIER RECIEVER. YOU MIGHT ALSO NOTE THAT THE STOCKS AND FOREARMS CAN BE QUITE DIFFERENT AS WELL. MOST A-5 FOREARMS WILL FEEL THINNER AND MORE SLEEK THAN THE MODEL 11. MOST BUTSTOCKS ON THE MODEL 11'S SEEM ALMOST TO HAVE A (CHOPPED) LOOK UNDERNEATH THE PISTOL GRIP WHERE THE A-5 CAN HAVE THIS LOOK TOO, IT ALSO OFFERED A ROUNDED PISTOL GRIP. ALSO, THE CHECKERINGCOULD BEBE DIFFERENT ALSO. iF YOU LIKE THIS LOOK OF THE BROWNING A-5'S YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO CONSIDER THE SAVAGE 755 AND THE SAVAGE 724 BOTH CARRY THIS SAME (STYLE) AND CAN ALSO BE PICKED UP AT CHEAPER PRICES THAN THE A-5'S
