Concur with most of you. I have seen sporters sell for as low as $200 - $450.
There were several at the last gunshow I went to. I actually handled one that the seller wanted $450 for. When I laid it back on the table, he said he would take $350, I walked
Conversely, the average price for one in original condition start around $500.
If you can find one with a good bore for around $750, IMHO that would be a good deal.
