I purchased an 28" AE 16 gauge this past winter for $1,800 but it needed a restock. I think it was a darn good deal even counting the restock. I still stand by my original assessment that you can find a decent 16 gauge Sterly for $1,200. It won't be an ejector gun and it won't have a pile of case color, but they are out there. Now, 20 gauge is a totally different bird. A 26" Sterly 20 in decent shape just sold for over $1,700 last week on GB.
