What would an unfired A5 go for about now. Asking for a friend...
I have no clue, but there is somewhat of a cult following of the Auto-5 in general. A pristine one will bring probably north of $1000 (in my area $1000-$1400, just depends on buyer), a bit more with box, papers, etc.
I have my grandfather's Sweet 16 and it's almost unfired. The metal is basically perfect on the outside with extremely minor wear on the inside and the paper diagram is still on the inside of the forearm. It probably has 4 to 6 boxes fired total since 1962 and I shot most of that since receiving it from my dad when he passed. Grandpa was so proud of it he was afraid to mess it up by hunting with it I think.

The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Thanks, all. Belgian 16. And thanks for the Cabela's tip. Hadn't thought of that.
Very nice shotguns! The closest I’ve got is a Remington 11-48 that I cut the barrel down to 19”
