NEF Pardner Pump 12 ga 2-3/4" & 3" shells, capacity 4+1, 18" barrel

Looked to be in good condition. Pump action was smooth. I'm thinking trunk gun?

Looks EXACTLY like this:


 
No but I would offer 100 for it. All my shotguns have been bought in pawnshops and have gotten 500's and 870's for aroung 125 in great shape. But i'm a cheapskate. I have no experience with nef, but I know you can get a maverick (made by mossberg) for around $150ish, new
 
I haven't seen an 870 in a pawnshop for $125 in a LONG time, no wait how about never

I got an 870 and a 500 for $225 2 yrs ago in san marcos at cash box pawn and am dealing on 2 500's right now in austin. We're at $200 for the pair and I want them for $150. I'll let ya know if it works out. If not i'll tell where they in case your interested. You just gotta look, and develop a friendship with the pawnbroker. Stay away from mustang pawn unless you want to overspend. Also i'm a pawnbroker and can look out for things if your interested
 
Yeah Mustang pawn prices are high.

You got some great deals on those shotguns there. The best I saw was an old Wingmaster at Cash America in Austin for $199
 
Sometimes if you buy in pairs the deal gets better. We NEED to move inventory which makes an inventory reduction benefitial to us. Kinda like this, ok i'll gve ya the $175 but ya gotta throw in the (xxxx) for $xxx and i'm paying cash no layaway.

I paid $150 out the door for my last Magnum Wingmaster in good shape. Paid ~$240 OTD for my like new 20 gauge LC Magnum Wingmaster. Paid ~$90 OTD for my rough 16 gauge Wingmaster. Not hard to find them cheap and in good shape around here(though $125 IS less than they normally go for)
 
870 for 150

I ran across two near new 870s last year in a pawn shop in RRock, north of Austin, that we dickered down to $150 each on. Looked like they had never been fired. Plain jane 870, 12g, wood furniture--same gun new at Academy for 249. You are right, just have to look and not seem too anxious.
 
Offer $100 dollars in cash, in hand and barter up in ten dollars increments. If it ends up to high a price - walk out slowly, they might go down in price on your way out.

Heck yes I'd but it, even as a backup, or super non-sporting config as a J.ust I.n C.ase?
 
Hunnert bucks. It's a Chinese shotgun whose fiddly bits may or may not interchange with an American gun's depending on what busts and how far within tolerance it is; that should factor into the price.
 
Also, Cabelas here is selling a real 870 with 6+1 capacity for $300 new right now...
 
Hey Armed Bear

I saw that yesterday, 870 TAC for $300. I've already got an 870 HD and a Mossberg 590 but...... I might need another.
