Browning skeet combo value???

A guy at the local gun range has a Browning small gauge grade 3 skeet combo in 20/28/410 for sale. It is really nice with the Browning hard case and the boxes for all of the gauges with it. It is a fixed choke skeet gun in all gauges. He is asking $3900 for it and the BB value puts it way below that price. I have done some searching and found nothing that has sold that is even close (sometimes it's tough to enter the correct words though) and only one that is listed here that they are asking more for(but they can ask anything they want for it). Any one have one or something close that they would want to put a value on? Thanks!!

Jap Citori or Belgium Superposed?
Mid 80's so I'm guessing Jap.
Winchester 101
SKB 505
SKB 585
SKB 785
You can buy a new set of SKB's w/choke tubes for less then he's asking for the a grade I-III if it's a Citori set. You can also consider a name brand 20 ga. and have the other two barrels added by most factories. Not as expensive as you might think.
(Yes, SKB is out of business, but still a lot of guns available on the market)
3 gun sets that are similar:

I've already played the 101 and SKB game. I think both are great guns but for some reason alot of people want to steer clear of them unless you want to give them away. I'm not one to get attached to a purchase. In other words if I don't like it then "easy come easy go" so to speak and don't want to get stuck with something that's hard to get rid of.
the 101 will auction for 3000 easy any day of the week Not necessarily on GB though more like an auction house like Amoskeag. I would not pay that much for a Citori unless it was a high grade
It's a grade 3 and there's nothing to compare it to. There are others listed for more $$ and lower quality but aren't selling. I've never heard of "Amoskeag", are they a large firearms auction house?

Gr 3 offer 3250
If you really want a upscale set buy a Beretta 682 Gold Skeet and have two barrels fit at Cole's and buy an American case, they would be easy to sell.
Side bar: I've never understood this "Browning" thing. Owned many of them, they are OK, but why spend more for an old name when they don't even make anything, they're like the Sears brand that outlines the spec's for others to build.
