It sure would be informative -- and interesting -- to know what some of the higher priced restored guns actually go for. We can see this at the auction sites that post the sale price, but don't have that information from the dealers. One would think they put the price somewhere near what they think they can get. How near?
It also begs the question, is a gun's value what it sells for or what experts think it's worth? I could argue both ways...but will leave that to others.
