I've never seen ANY Turkish shotgun worth "a lot of money" here. There are lots of Turkish imports being sold now by the big name brands. Mossberg, CZ, etc. buy all of their double barreled guns from there. Generally, these Turkish shotguns sell new for between $350 and about $800 depending on who the major retailer is and how high their design specifications are.

Most of these shotguns are OK; none are great. Double barreled shotguns take significantly more hand assembly than do autoloaders or pumps. That is why they cost more. While an OK double may sell for $800, a good one is easily twice that. A great double will be 3 to 4 times that or even more.
