Model 12s are truly great guns, and for all the reasons mentioned above. Model 37s are popular now because they are also well made (at least the earlier versions) and they tend to fit more folks a little better (certainly better in an ambidextrous fashion anyway). They are also way lighter, making them more attractive for the upland game hunting crowd. When you own several pump guns, the more useful versions seem to the be last ones you let go of...
With that said, I did list two Model 31s over on 16ga.com. Both are the "L" models, one is a 20, the other is 16. I guess I could list them here as well, as long as nobody objects? The pumpgun market has clearly evolved in the last few years. I'm seeing some pretty unbelievable prices for the better and more-rare options. They are clearly very effective bird guns in the right hands. When is the last time you saw a good Model 17?
