i got a sweet deal on a pardner today

[Scibaer]

i was at the local sporting goods store today and saw a very nice looking 12 gauge pardner, the price was $99
 i took a closer look, its a case hardened colored sb1 reciever, NL ( 1997 production year ) with pallet wood stocks of a real light color,  with a schnable forend.
 27 1/2 inch barrel, 3" chamber and a modified choke.. and best of all, its like new in box condition for $99 bucks
the guy at the counter said "we sold that gun new, to the guy who traded it in a while ago" ..
the gun looks like its hardly been shot, so i bought it right then and there with a few boxes of shells too
so that makes it my 10th NEF and my 2nd 12 gauge. when i got it home, its nearly a twin to my 20gauge pardner..
today is a good day

 Congratulations!

 I love those shotguns. The only thing simpler is a rock.

i took the pardner apart today, gave it a good cleaning and oiling, looked it over.  i just cant see why someone would trade in this gun, if it shoots as good as it looks, you couldnt ask for better.  i need to get out the range and pattern it , see just how it shoots.
where i hunt for small game, i have to shoot steel shot. so i picked up a box of steel #6. i really hope it patterns descent

Glad to hear you are happy with the $99 price tag, in my part of the country a $99 NEF/H&R 12 or 20ga would rot in the racks before it ever sold for $99, typical used shop prices for such are $60-$70 in ANY cond. including NIB.
Great guns though, I still hunt with them often.

[Scibaer]

with a 150 miles of my house, NIB NEF's or H&R's sell for$239 to $339 depending on offering.
used they sell for $200 to $125 on average. $99 for a like NIB 12 gauge is a good deal.
i live in  near the saginaw bay ( between the thumb and finger ) in lower pennisula of michigan
i have my eye on another handi at $149 used, i think that its a good deal too and will likely pick it up before its gone

WOW I paid 117.00 for my pardner new at wallyworld I would never pay over 100.00 for a used NEF shotgun around here 60 or 70s the norm. 99 for a super nice one aint bad thou.

[Scibaer]

honestly, thats what they go for around me.
if i could pay $60 - $70 for them, i'd buy 2 or 3 at  time and own alot more of 'em
just last saturday, i looked at a .410 pardner NIB for $189.. i thought " thats not bad" ( price wise ) " but i dont need a .410

[Jimbo47]

I have to go with Scibaer on this one also and say he got a heck of a deal.

Although thay are not as high at shops around here, as some of the prices you stated, they are still a lot more than the $99 for a like new, and that is if you can find one on the rack used as they don't hang around long to collect dust.

Good find!

Here in Arizona, those are $90-$100 used. But I saw a very nice .410 Topper Jr. last week for $60 "out the door"...wow, it was nice!  Like 99% nice.  Serial number was traced to 1973.  I wanted it bad but my next door neighbor had mentioned that he wanted a .410, so I came home and told him about it.  Next day he was the new owner.  Now, am I a good neighbor or what?  (LOL)
