EXCUTIVE BENELLI
IM INTRESTED IN BUYING AN EXECUTIVE 12 GAUGE,AUTO.If the price is right?my question is Will this gun go up in value if properly cared for?I obviously want to use the gun but,I also want a collector piece at the same time.Am I barking up the wrong tree????

You are indeed barking.....
The executive benelli, I assume you mean with the gold inlay and high grade wood, would be greatly depreciated after firing IMHO. Now, if you like the look and feel, buy a black eagle competiton model, (discontinued), to shoot,.... and get an executive NIB to keep.
I'm a man,....but I can change,.....If I have to,......I guess.0 -
There are three different models of Benelli Executive with engravings and gold inlay - and there's one eddition without engraving.
Depending on how you want your engraving.
I know it might not help much, but I've got a pricelist - but it's in danish Kroner.
But Benelli also makes a limited eddition each year.
I believe it was made from or of the Super 90. (not M1 or M3 - just plain Super 90)
Collector guns do loose quite a bit in value when used, even a bit.
But yes - Executive is a fine piece, one that can and will look good on the wall over the fireplace =o)

Benelli's are ment for one thing. Shooting! Might I suggest a full camo SBE for both turkey, and ducks, and a Super 90 for everything else!

Hi Jim,
I posted this reply on your other thread but I'll repeat it here. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Would you like some stock market recommendations too? Seriously though, I didn't read your previous post but many factors can influence a gun's value.
The most important thing to concentrate on when choosing a gun is the task you want to use it for, and that it's a good match for your shooting style and ability (and wallet too!).
That should help you narrow down the possibilities. Then consider the history of the manufacturers and their particular models that you might be considering. Have they been around awhile? 5 years or 150 years?
It's like buying a car. Do you want to buy a Mercedes and only drive it on sunny Sundays or do you want to buy a Jeep and use it for what it was built for.
Don't confuse "going up in value" with "keeping pace with inflation" or "minimizing depreciation." I have a 30 year old specialty shotgun that is one of my favorites that I could get a lot more for now than I paid for it, BUT, those are 2002 dollars that aren't worth near as much as 1972 dollars, so is it really worth more? I don't know, but it shoots great and has given me plenty of enjoyment over the years. Maybe I should have taken the money in 1972 and invested in Wal-Mart....
