The Maverick line is a less expensive line of shotguns starting around $180 to $200. The Mossberg 500 starts at around $300.
The Mav 88 is a bit less expensive, but it's not from a lack of quality in any way. The Mav 88 is physically and functionally identical to the Mossy 500 except that Mossberg lowers the price by lowering the cost of production.
The Mossy 500 has nice wood and a steel forearm action slide tube, the Mav 88 has a one piece synthetic forearm and no slide tube. The Mossy has a top safety machined into the top of the receiver, where the Mav 88 has the safety made as a part of the trigger guard. The Mossy 500 usually comes with sling swivels, the Mav 88 you have to spend the extra $5 and buy your own.
Quality-wise, both are functionally identical and all parts except the Mossy 500 forearm wood can be interchanged. All barrels interchange as do all stocks etc.
The Mav 88 is a fine weapon in all regards. It won't let you down.

Value difference between mossberg 500 and mossberg 500a?
There is no difference. A 500 is a basic Mossy 500 receiver shotgun. Unless the gauge is stated, it's assumed it's a 12. The 500A is simply stating it as a "12 gauge" 500 in its name. The Mossy 500A is a 12 gauge model 500, the 500B is a 16 gauge model 500, the 500C is a 20 gauge etc. There was no 28 gauge so there is no 500D, contrary to many sources, so the next one was the .410 called the 500E. A 12 gauge model 500 and a 500A are the same gun.
