The thing is, it's the US that is driving up prices
AND paying them.

So if people pay it, do you expect to happen to prices ?

They keep going up until someone doesn't pay.


WR and a few others who "fish" a gun at a high price
but actually sell it for a lot less are good examples.

500,

I'm very familiar with the US market, as well as most of the collectors and hunters that buy doubles like this one. We are not at $50,000.00 yet for such a gun, regardless of dealers "fishing" techniques.

The gun was offered to me for $30k at WR, which didn't get me interested. Then 2 months go bye, and Jack has it out for $50,000.00

That's not the market, unless the prospective buyer is a total fool.

I totally agree that this is a nice rifle, but very over priced! Though the Britt rifles, that are worth owning are getting scarce, and it is normal for the price point to go up, this is far above the value of this rifle, IMO. If I were going to spend $50K for a double rifle, I'd far rather buy three Heyms, and 500NE, a 450/400 3", and a 375 Flanged, and have a set of matching rifles, that will do far more than the one 470NE in question here will, and cost less, for all three!
