Anyone who owns a 16 loves it, though we all struggle with the ammo situation from time-to-time. You might use that story to negotiate a better price, though in reality acquiring ammo isn't that difficult ... unless you wait for opening day of hunting season.
I own two and really like the gauge. Having said that, however, if I were buying a new (not pre-owned) gun, I'd opt for a 3", 20 ga. It will do anything a 16 will, without the ammo problem.
