Boito, a Brazilian company, actually made them for K-Mart. Their reputation ranks from "utilitarian" to "junky." If you get a good one, it will be a usable firearm that will last you a lifetime. If you get one the Horror stories are written about, it will fail, break, etc. K-Mart stopped selling these in 1984. Boito now is owned by E.R. Amantino, the same company that makes Stoeger and is generally regarded as a reputable, but lower-grade shotgun. The K-Mart Models range in price from $50 for a single barrel to $200 for a good double barrel with good wood, etc. Repair parts are available from several dealers. Many models, both single and double barrel (both O/U and SxS) were made. Some regard Boito K-Mart models as one of the worst shotguns ever made. Few say they are anything more than a useful, but non-collectable, tool.
Kmart used to be known for manufacturing a variety of shotguns and rifles. The ones they made back in the 1970s and 1980s are beginning to become collectibles. The Kmart model 251 shotgun sells online for around 1,500 dollars, depending upon the condition of the firearm.
Kmart contracted with many makers. Winchester is one.
To work at Kmart you have to be 15.
about $100 +/- depending on condition
Depends on the items. Some most likely are. I do know that many toys are made using child labor and children cut diamonds in India, so out of all the things sold in Kmart many are probably made using child labor.

Unlike Sears, who used J.C. Higgins, and Western Auto, who used Revelation, KMart used Kmart. Several different makers made guns that were labeled with the KMart brand. One of them was a double barreled shotun made in South America by Boito (CBC)
the fact its a 12 gauge is good, even tho theyre considered one of the worst shotguns ever made (sorry) i didnt think they made any in america, but if it REALLY is made in america it might be worth a bit, if not, then maybe 200 bucks max
50 USD
like $80 typically, they are in the "6 worst shotguns ever made list" but the fact its a 20 gauge instead of a 410 you could probably get $150-$200 without a HUGE problem. sorry man, just not a highly thought of gun. hope this helped
Boito was an inexpensive line of shotguns made in Brazil in the early 1970s. Value is probably in the $150-$175 range, depending on condition. These were typically sold through K-mart, G.C. Murphy department stores, etc.
Brazil
very little, $200 max

Depending on grade of blueing and condition of scrollwork and foregrip/stock checkering, your looking at about 75 to 120 dollars. Most Boito shotguns of the era were a joint venture between Boito and a company called FIE. Both are manufacturers of Brazilian shotguns. They are a simple breech design with a simple extractor engaged by simply pulling the front of the trigger guard back slightly. Although they are very hardy and well built shotguns (in this writer's opinion and I do own a Boito single barrel 20ga myself) their single barrel and simple construction make them more a useful varmint gun or a simple practice shotgun rather than a dedicated hunting or home defense weapon. Hence their low price.
CBC shotguns were made in Brazil and imported for sale by department store chains such as KMart. They are marked as to gauge, typically on the barrel.
Arrigo Boito's birth name is Boito, Enrico Giuseppe Giovanni.
