Per this web site:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_a_Winchester_model_120_Ranger_Youth_20_gauge_shotgun

My Winchester Model 120 Ranger Youth 20 gauge would be worth $1800 to $2200 if in perfect condition (it's not but my uneducated grading would place it around 90%).

That makes no sense to me at all. Is the guy who wrote that on crack? If I had to guess value it would be around $200. The gun is not in the latest Blue Book at all with the youth marking.

Heh. I highly doubt it is in that price range.

Two years ago I bought my brother a used 12ga 120 ranger for about $150.

Find the guy who wrote it and offer him a "deal" on yours...

Wow, sarcasm! How original! I realize it is a wiki and open source, the numbers are just so crazy I thought it post worthy, but thanks for playing and acting like a tool.

Wikipedia is as accurate as most print publications...and lots of other Wiki sites (like answers.com I think) just copy it for some odd reason.

Error (print media) vs revision (wikis), and the revision can be motivated by good or ill will...seems like the "revision" capabilities of Wiki are more winning in the long run.

Kinda gives me faith in humanity somehow.
