We all like a deal!....These scarce repro's and other collectable guns do not fall in your lap. Guys like me who want the hard to find ones go on line to get them. That said we pay closer to the retail or going price, market value at the time. If the price is not too high like the one this thread is about we justify it and pay the price. I did not pay the asking price but close...I am happy with the deal, the seller was happy also or he would have not sold it. The gun is just what I like them to be. I paid more than 5k but less than the asking price of 5500.00 for a gun that has it all....condition, wood, built the way I would order it. So when Jerry asked value of a similar gun that is nice but not NIB I had a real good feel for the ball park he asked for. Yes guns that so few were made can out-perform the normal numbers. I see marlin Davidsons SS LTD lever guns selling right now for 7 to 8 times production retail price. They made 250 of each caliber=1000 guns total. thanks all...SXS ohio
