Define "well-used".
I have bought all my 870's used. The roughest one was 100 clams. It was a complete '55 Wingmaster with a fixed choke 28" barrel. It had very thin blue and chipped wood and a broken firing pin. I re-stocked it with some spares and replaced the firing pin. Took it out sporting-claying last week. Very cool!
My most expensive 870 was the first one I bought - 249 for a '94 Express with rifle-sights on a 20" barrel (like the one you're looking at) in excellent condition. I think I paid too much for that but it was my first so live and learn I guess.
The rest were between these prices - not including the bare receivers I've bought.
So...........in my opinion 200 for "well-used" is a bit high, but not by much, if it is as rough as I'm imagining. If "well-used" means broken-in and smoothed-up then it sounds like a good deal.
I bought all my 870's online too so this probably accounts for the lower prices and I have not added FFL fee's to those.
Good luck,
Mike
