SBE Price

[JChilders]

can anyone tell me what the reasonable price of a used SBE in good condition would be? I am looking at trading in my sbe to get a super sport, but I want to make sure I am not getting ripped off.

Got $900 for mine in April on a new SBE II. It was in great shape only used for turkey hunting.

With the official announcement that the SBE (version I) is discontinued, brand new black SBE's with full warranty are running $899 here now.

One gunshop promises $749 if he has any left over after duck season.

Given that most can wait until after duck season, I would value a used black SBE at around $550, maybe lower.

Same for the Beretta Xtrema, they are really starting to dump them to make room for the Xtrema II.

I am going to keep my 2002 SBE. It shoots just fine and I simply won't take the hit just to raise cash for a new gun.

Beretta is coming out with an Xtrema2 already? It's only been out for a couple of years it seems like. When is the estimated release date?

I hear May 2005. The 2005 SHOT Show could be the debut.

Apparently, many problems with the Xtrema led Beretta to make II version.

I have seen black Xtremas going for $749 NIB.

Dont count on one going for as low as 550. i think that your 749 quote is a reasonable price for a sbe

[mudhen]

Reasonable is not the standard - reality is.

I see used SBE's for $700 or less all day long with no takers.

They will be under $800 NIB after duck season in my area, if there are any left.

A used SBE, after duck season, will be be lucky to fetch $600.

Just since my last post, NIB black Xtremas have dipped to $699.

I hear the new Xtrema II has the Benelli bolt and the ARGO system like the M1014. We'll see it at the SHOT Show.

If the SBE's drop in price do you suppose that will be the same with the M1 now that the M2's are in circulation.
