A good friend used to own a gun shop doing mostly Browning. He was approached shortly after the launch of the Repros and the ballpark price he was told to sell them for was $2400. He backed off because at that time it was high. He thinks he recalls his cost being near $1800-1900 which is close to the Jaquas price. Problem was he had to buy a boat load of them and couldn't afford it. That being said, to have doubled his money (or a more) now, 25 or whatever years later, it doesn't look like it was a great long term investment. I don't know anyone who got rich buying guns. At least they aren't as bad as race horses.
