Remington 10A shotgun

Iwas in a gun shop today, and they had a Remington 10A shotgun for sale. I thought it was an Ithaca 37 at first, cause of the bottom eject. It also has a safety on the front part of the trigger housing, very lefty friendly gun.
Does anyone know an approximate value on this gun? My "book" says that in excellent condition, it is worth $375. VG 300 Good 250. It certainly appears to me to be in Excellent/Very good condition.
They wantt $165, which seems like a pretty good deal when considering the prices my book offers. But I am wondering if anyone has any idea as to the actual retail value.
Thanks for any info.

    SALZO,

    These are fairly old guns, I believe they stopped manufacturing them
    about 1930. I had one and sold it for $100.00. About 85%. Caution on the take down mechanism and slide - they wear out. Bet the one you are lloking at is a .12 x 30" plain w/ full choke. Price could be fair
    but I had a job selling the one I had. 101

    SALZO,like everything old,folks don't trust them.Regardless of the fact that the depression cancelled many of the guns in the thirtys you have found a jewel among shotguns.At present I have three of them.Plus a model 17 20 gauge.Mr.Pederson knew how to build shotguns.If you have ever shot from a blind or sink box and had to chase your ejected shells you would give a quart of blood for a 10.They dump the empties at your feet inside the box.Also if you hunt in bad weather you can do no better than a 10 because nothing but shells get into your gun.My TRAP grade in smoother than a fish through water.The 37 Ithica is fairly close to the 10 but has a tendency to rattle due to the cheap way of manufacture.Cost sent the 10 down just as it sent the Winchester model 12.For my money two of the greatest ever made.Both by the same designer.Buy it,you'll be glad you did. modoc
