Price for used Remington 870 Marine Magnum

I have seen a lot of info about this weapon here and am interested in purchasing one for home defense. The local gunshop has one for $360.00 with a butt cuff and sling, used. It appears to be in excellent condition and well maintained. I haven't seen these anywhere else, so I have no reference point for price. Is this a good deal?

In my area they go for about $409 new , I found mine in the local "Trader" paper unfired in the box for $300 [I think that was a great deal] . If you can find a mint one with the box for $330 to $360 I would say go for it , these dont seem to set around too long before someone snaps them up . Offer the store owner $350 for the gun and tax and see what he says , you can always add more money to the offer . Good luck , Mike...
