Does anyone know the value of this gun, new in the box. There is a local gun dealer that has one for sale for $1575, which I thought was awful high. I then saw the gun at walmart in both 12 and 20 gauge for $687. Should I buy the gun at Walmart, or is it not worth any more than any other model 1100. It has a profile of sam walton in gold engraving on the left side of the receiver, and says limited edition also. It has the upland type european "straigh" stock with no pistol grip.
Thanks for your help

1- WHY WOULD YOU PAY YOUR DEALER THAT MUCH MORE???
2- IS THE GUN WORTH MORE THAN AN 1100??
ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE IF THE EXTRA FINISH, GOLD, AND FANCY WOOD ARE WORTH ANY VALUE TO YOU. GOOD LUCK.
I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.
thanks,

As GHD said, commemoratives & special editions rarely bring more on resale than the plain version of any gun. VANITY special editions, such as Sam Walton's, are probably worth a premium to no one other than Sam's family.

Not to sound like an *, but if a friend of mine bought one of those and showed it to me, I'd hurt myself laughing! Then he'd be so ashamed that he'd probably go into hiding. If Sam Walton was an important figure in the firearms world, it would be a whole different story. Truth is, he ain't! He was just someone who figured out how to get people to spend their money at his store.... That gun is a perfect example of what ol' Sam did in his day.
To me, buying a comemmorative gun with Sam Walton's likeness on it, would be no different than putting a Wally World bumper sticker on my truck. Either way, it ain't happenin'...[xx(]
