I have watched guys at SCI plunk down good money to one of the English gunmakers for a piece that is in dire need of work. A classic example was a guy who paid 21,000 for a C&H in 450 nitro. First of C&H guns are extremely problematic as their lock systems are very complex and "different to work on. This particular rifle was in terrible physical condition and would require a considerable amount of money to put it in shape.

Prices continue to rise for inferior products due to supply and demand. I will wait for the prices to come down as they always do on any item.

I have always priced my guns fairly and have never inflated the prices. I don't need to do this and I would rather have a piece turnover quickly rather than sit on it.

Searcy and the like are probably great using guns but if I don't like it after I have purchased it, then it would have to be re-sold. That is not an easy proposition.
