    You gave us too little information. You failed to provide photos, the gauge, the barrel length, & choke.

    Special editions guns generally sell for +/- 10% of the value of the "plain" version of the same gun in the same condition. Check the GB COMPLETED AUCTIONS & see what a gun like yours actually sold for.

    Friends setting prices like that are friends that you don't need. If it is 100% brand new with all of the papers and virtually untouched by human hands it might be worth about half the amount he is asking...MAYBE. Otherwise is it worth no more than an ordinary B-80, and those sell in the $450-$500 range. The B-80 had a short life of only 6 or 7 years and was not a popular model. Commemoratives and so called "specials" based on unpopular models are like death in the resale market.

    Well, true, the 12 ga will usually sell in the $500-600 range, but this one sold for $849:

    I was hoping that Yukon's friend owns a special model, but it would have to be really special to be worth $1,500.

    From Std Catalog of Firearms:

    This version was produced to be auctioned by American Ducks Unlimited Chapters. In order to realize the collector potential, it must be NIB with all supplied materials. Values Supplied are General:
    NIB = $950
    Exc = $750
    VG = $550

    So the guys here are just about dead on.

    Best of luck
