Note that it comes in both stock-equipped and 590M Shockwave (pistol grip) variants. Those two sit at the same value.

Mossberg 590RM Value
The average used Mossberg 590RM is worth $370 to $750. A new 590RM sells for $1,000 at retail.

Mossberg 590 Shockwave Value
The average used Mossberg 590 Shockwave is worth $100 to $250. A new 590 Shockwave sells for $550 at retail.
The short version of the 590 that’s not a Class III firearm! That’s if you keep the bird’s head grip instead of fitting a shoulder stock on it, of course.
The Shockwaves actually have the heavy-walled barrel found in the 590A1s, which makes them feel surprisingly hefty. They come in 12 ga, 20 ga, and .410 bore. There’s also a Cerakoted version (add about $10 to $20 for this in resale).
Mossberg 590 Nightstick Value
The average used Mossberg 590 Nightstick is worth $200 to $400. A new 590 Nightstick sells for $600 at retail.
