[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3706015, member: 45773"] If that's what they're selling for, then that's pretty much what they're worth. To those buying them, anyway. Obviously, you wouldn't pay that because it isn't worth that to you. But if you choose to buy a .410 from brand "X" for $400, the guy who wants the Remington from the early 80s might look at your new gun and say, "Nice gun, but not worth that price to me." Vintage firearms from 40 years ago (like the OP's 1983 Wingmaster) aren't being made any longer and that's part of the appeal and thus the increase in price. That doesn't mean there aren't nice substitute guns out there. That really doesn't factor into the equation. I happen to really like S&W 3rd Gen autos. I started buying a bunch of them during the 2000s because you could get them for next to nothing. Now they're going for 2 or 3 times what they did new, at least. There's really nothing special about them, either. They're very outdated by today's standards. But, they're popular now and there's a finite supply of them in the wild. That adds up to increased cost. [/QUOTE]
