Strikes me as fiction to suggest a gun has a "real value" that is somehow higher than what the gun brought at one of the country's most well-known, well-advertised and well-attended auctions. Bottom-feeders versus pipe-dreamers, what's the difference? The hammer tells the "true value."

But as we live and learn, it sometimes doesn't. Case in point - some recent auctions.

I totally agree, what is "real value" vs "desired value"? Or is value determined by how much someone overpaid for an item?
