I recently ran across a 10 gauge Goose Gun in good condition. The bluing was in great condition, the wood had minor handling marks. It may be the first one I've seen in person. How much are these shotguns selling for now?

My first one of these I got for $150. Ended up trading it towards a Winchester M1 Garand and got the same price so I thought I was doing ok. Wish now that I still had it. I've been wanting to get another one but refuse to pay some of the prices being asked for them. I've seen them sell around 400 which I can live with but I just haven't been in the right place at the right time to grab one yet. I will not give 500 to 700 like some folks ask for them.
BTW, I still have that particular Winchester Garand and it's appreciated far more than that goose gun would have.

My brother-in-law was a big duck/goose hunter who was always trying to reach out and touch em. He bought an Ithaca 10 gauge automatic. That's the biggest gun I ever held in my hands. I think it weighed in at a whopping 12 pounds. If you could get it up, it didn't kick too bad because of the weight. He ended up using it for deer hunting cause it could sure sling some buckshot. I always thought I wanted one of the Marlins but I weren't a water fowler so I never did.
