[QUOTE="PBramble, post: 3706081, member: 5778"] Don't get me wrong. An item is worth as much as someone is willing to pay. Some will pay more for ownership than others, but it's all up to the individual. That goes for anything. Of course there is a bottom line for everything and it will never go lower than that, regardless of market price. The point of diminishing returns remains and when the item loses value below what was paid for it, it generally makes that person feel bad about jumping on that purchase at such a high price. Another issue that arises is collectors. They are willing to pay a higher price for something that will not be used and, no matter what they say, looked at very little. That's just a prestige thing. In this market, firearms are tools that are meant to be used. There should be appreciable wear and tear on them, which in turn, affects pricing. If anyone thinks an 1100 limited edition is worth 1500 bucks, I have a 20LW (only produced for around two years) I might be looking to get rid of. Then again, considering I have a fitted slug barrel, the original barrel and a fitted remchoke barrel for it, and it's been drilled and tapped for a scope rail, it might be closer to 2500. [/QUOTE]
