I have a model 1000 but it's an auto not a pump.
Renamed
The first ones were in fact labeled as the 1000P, but the name was quickly changed to the 3000 to avoid confusion, I suspect. NIB I would guess in the $400 range, depending on bbl length and choke. I carried a personally-owned 3000 model on the job for about 14 years, and it was and is a fine weapon.

3000 = pump
1000 = auto
I also have a 3000. Bought it new in 83/84.

S&W certainly confused things with the numbering......the 1000P became the 3000, both pumps. They also produced a 1000 auto.
I have 2 of the 1000P Model - nice fit and finish.
You don't indicate the condition or configuration of your gun, so it's a bit difficult to assign a value - the 4th edition of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson suggests $200 (Very Good condition) to $325 (As New In Box). Depending upon configuration (choke, ventilated rib, etc.) and condition, you could certainly go above or below that range.

Thanks guys. It is confusing the way S&W labeled the early pumps 1000P, which indeed became the 3000. Mine has beautiful wood, ventilated rib 28" barrel and modified choke. Made in Japan, lol. It is a well used field gun that has taken lots of rabbits, and for that reason has some scratches and such. It has a dandy "ring" to it on lock up, especially on an empty chamber, which is kinda cool. I guess I'll not part with it, just thought maybe due to the unusual model designation, it might be worth something. I wonder how many 1000Ps were made before the 3000 designation?
I had a few S&W Jap shotguns and they were as good as Rem or Win. I also had a couple of 916 series pumps? I think was the old Noble gun. They were low quality junk.

1000P
The 1000P first came to the UK in 1980. I remember it as I worked for Parker Hale who were the UK importers.
The P designated it as a pump action as opposed to the 1000 which was semi auto. It was a MASSIVE improvement over the 916 which would break with monotonous regularity.
I seem to remember that they (the 1000P) were actually made by Howa in Japan

Does anyone know if the S&W 3000 barrels fit Remington 870s ??

I don't think any parts from a 870 fit on the 3000
