Look at the bright side. You still have a very nice looking NID. I can't understand why in hell you'd want to sell it.
Neither do I, Brother. Neither do I.

Unlike you Jagermeister, my gun inventory contains lots of side by side doubles because that's what I like... not because I'm hung up on the idiotic notion that they will lose value at some point after I'm dead and gone. By the way, I've been hearing and reading about how they will lose value ever since I started buying them, and the prices just keep going up... even for the lowly 12 gauge field grades.
Of course, that brings us back to the question of why someone like you, who doesn't own even one lousy double, and who certainly couldn't afford the ugly $1550 over-under you provided the link to, would ever bother to post here???... other than to pathetically pretend to be something you are not, and to troll your support for anti-gun Liberal Democrats. Shotgun World>>>Ithaca Shotguns>>>"Double Gun Market, Thoughts"......

Neither do I, Brother. Neither do I. He found a wonderful Winchester Model 21. Twelve gauge Model 21, Parker Bros. Trojan 12ga and New Ithaca Double 12ga are redundant triplicates.

The Model 21 would be easier to move. You buy an Ithaca either accept the haircut you're probably going to get or keep and use it.

Winchester boys like Colt and Parker Bros. brethren have "deeper pockets". If you can swing the $5000 to $6000 for original gun in great shape the 3" Model 21 is not a bad shotgun. Big plus you get the same weight and handling as 2&3/4" gun but with 3" chambers so you can use nice larger size shot in 3" cases Kent Tungsten Matrix, Fiocchi 'Tundra' or Kent Bismuth shells for wildfowling. The Winchester seems to hold value though the prices for field grade stuff have not been going up in recent years. For most part Ithaca boys have holes in their pockets. The wonderful field grade 37 pump in very good shape can be had for about $300 or $50 to $75 more than 30 years ago. Flagship transitional 'Supreme' from mid-50s with solid rib, nice wood and Ithaca Sunburst pad with aluminum backing in top shape (dry closet gun) went for only $500 at LGS. Equivalent gun from Winchester model 12 line would bring well over $1000.

PJ,
Didn't you promise me you weren't going to talk about Ithaca model 37 pumps, here, anymore? The comparison on selling prices between pumps and doubles isn't likely to be valid. Especially, here. This is a jaded lot, with a bunch of gray hair.
A 12 gauge anything is a tough sell. It has been that way for some time. People who make money on a gun by selling it, usually made that money on the purchase.
I will sell a few guns before I die, as long as that isn't today. I don't need as many as I have. But, I'm not terribly concerned with what they sell for. Or, with what happens to the ones I keep, after I am gone.
I have had my fun with them. That is what I bought them for.
Best,
Ted

Ted Sorry, when it comes to Ithaca Gun Company that promise is very hard to keep. Look at Ithaca Shotguns portion of ShotgunWorld BBS and you will see what constitutes most of their discussion topics. Great bunch of folks post there.

You really have to have your head up your ass to continually troll crap about pumps and autoloaders on a double-gun forum... especially when you have such limited knowledge and actual experience with those types of guns as well.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

At a gun show about a year back, small affair at a gun club, and at one table were Model 37s and Model 12s. Everyone was looking at the Model 12s even the beater Model 12s.
Use that Ithaca!!! Beat it into the ground. It will just laugh at you, saying "Is that all you got?"
