Model 1100 worth?

My dad is wanting to sell his Remmy 1100 or trade to get something more appropriate for my brothers who are up and coming shooters. It's hardly been used and after a good cleaning this weekend is up and running and cycling properly. What kind of trade value or sell value should he be looking at? Ideally he'd want a decent (maybe a Mossberg) 12-20ga pump and a .22 rifle but I'm not sure if he's reaching or not.

if it cleans up as well as it looks like it will, RETAIL value would be at $650 or so, on the high end.

the old saying is, that something is worth what someone else is willing to pay.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I've heard anywhere from $450-650 retail but you know retail is hard to get some times. Just want to make sure I don't get screwed. I have no idea what the market for 1100s is

Is this 12 or 20 ga?

Looks like a no rib gun?

12ga 3" magnum

Plain barrel gun, plain looking wood, decent condition, maybe 400.00 realistically.....

no offense meant, but I would keep it if $400 was all I could get. I would offer it for $550 and take maybe $475, not a cent lower.

well, after looking on gunbroker, maybe $425 to $450 is indeed reasonable.

What is the length/choke of barrel?

It's full choke and 30".

1st let me ask what gun he is looking to trade for or get? Is he looking at another shotgun? is it a plain or vent rib barrel? being a magnum with a 30 inch full choke barrel I see it under $500 and closer to the $400. mark

Ideally he'd like to have a sweet and simple Mossberg 500 AND something like a 10-22 Ruger (in a perfect world mind you). He'd probably be open to other offers too.
