The old model 12s are not as desirable in the marketplace as they were 20-30 years ago. Model 12 collectors are relatively few today, and they insist on nothing but very high condition examples and less common designs, such as military or magnum duck, not those which show symptoms of use or of common production. And there are newer and superior shotguns on the market for hunters and clay bird shooters. There are few used Model 12s in average condition that will bring over $500, mainly less. Good shotguns, but their sun has set.
