The other side of the coin....at a Syracuse Gun Show, many years ago, I came upon a Winchester model 61 in .22 shot. It was the early one with the feame matting and looked like a miniature model 12. The dealer wanted $800 and I was willing to pay $700. We could not come to terms and I left to find my wife, Sylvia, at the coffee shop. I told her about the gun. She said, "where is it, and give me the money." I did so and she left. About 10 minutes later with the gun and a smile. The dealer sold her the gun for $650. I still have it today. They now go for the price of a nice DH.
