They migt "should be there" but they're not.

I saw the pix when you put this on the S&W board. But when I click on these I get a photobucket page that says, "Page not found".

The stock looks like it's had bleach slopped all over it. The left side of the receiver, under the water table, appears to have rust pitting. As a general rule, used single barrel shotguns are worth between 75 and a hundred bucks. But the way this looks, I'd put it closer to 60. As I said, if he offered 90, based on those pictures, take it.

H&R makes a good shotgun. Mechanically that might be in great shape. Maybe he wants to camo-paint it, and it doesn't matter what it looks like. But gun values are, largely, based on appearance, more than "does it work".
