Local dealer charges $369 for Rem 870, too much?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a shotgun and after searching I narrowed it down to Winch 1300, Mossb 500, Rem 870, or Benelli Nova.
I didn't get to see the Benelli, but I liked the Rem 870 for the grip on the pump, the Winch felt cheap like it was waiting to slice my fingertips off when pumping it.
The dealer had the Rem 870 express?, short barrel, all black for $369, which I thought was high. I have heard many people speak of getting used ones for $200, or even $250.
Am I looking in the wrong area, or is that the right price? Thanks
 
Wonder if he is selling any at that price. Guess it depends on who walks in. Some folks don't have a clue but they do have bucks.

Let your fingers do the walking. Call all the dealers in your area and ask if they have any used 870s and for how much.

Check the bulletin boards at local ranges, and the ads in the paper.

That price is avaricious.
 
Definitely waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Maybe not if it were a Wingmaster.

Dealer cost is about $235, so he make a killing if he is selling them at that price.

I picked one up used and in almost new condition for $169.
 
Thanks for the tips everyone. I will definitely shop around for a better deal. Thw same shop had a S&W 686 for about $100 too much also, I posted in the revolver forum.
