Model 20 is the High Standard model 200 according to the Blue Book cross-reference list, but no model 200 is listed in the High Standard section of the book. To determine the value, go to Walmart or a sporting goods store and find the price for a similar (automatic, bolt action, etc) utility gun by New England Firearms or Boito or another utility shotgun. Your used Sears gun will be worth 1/2 to 2/3 as much.

I Just bought a JC Higgins 583.18 In 16ga in good condition it cost $85 I have seen them for $100. I'm not shure if this will help But that's what I've seen.
Cost today? Depends on condition, condition, condition, and year.
In 1909 it cost $850 ($20,709 today's money) but by the 1920s the price had dropped to $290 ($3,575 today).[Although the above prices are not incorrect, they are for a 'touring' model. You could purchase a 'runabout' model of the 1909 model t for 825$ (19 764$ today) and, by 1925, purchase the same car for 260$ (3 205$ today).]
In 1929 the price had fallen to around $290 which is equal to around $3,300 today.
The 1909 Model T sold for $850 (equivalent $20,709 today) and by the end of production in late 20s is was selling for $290 ( $3,289 today).
A price of just $240 (equivalent to $2,696 today).
