You sort of have to understand a little about the culture and targeted area where their stores are located. That North Florida, Southwest Georgia Thomasville area is Quail plantation and preserve mecca. These are extremely high dollar operations. It used to be fashionable for the Yankee industrialists to have a quail plantation to stay at and winter some on their way to Florida. Most of these estates are still private with a lot of them being contiguous. Hence there are folks that have the money to get what the want no matter the price and they have been doing that in that area since the height of Parker's gun production.
Just guessing but Kevin's has two highly sought after guns on their website that almost look like a matched pair. One is a 28 ga supposedly 1 of 4 ever made, the other is a 410. Who knows the story of those guns. Guessing they came from an Estate down there. Heck someone may just need to have that gun and has the cash and plops it down. He may even have the guns on consignment, who knows. Either way it seems he is bullish on the sxs market in an area that is fashionable to have a high dollar gun and in an area that some folks won't second guess on a premium price too much.
My guess is that one day there will be high dollar guest visiting that gets the bug that needs outfitting and wants the best and to look the part and sees that gun and buys it as an investment. Shoots it a few times a year and then just sits back in a nice case somewhere.
