Gun transactions are typically private affairs and not recorded anywhere for public consumption. Some of these auctions do, but I think its foolish if I am a buyer wanting that information disclosed. Hence market value can be completely subjective; however, fraud is fraud. If you make representations, warrants and guarantees that something is different then what it actually is and you know differently then that is fraudulent activity, no matter what the price is. If a seller has a shadow of doubt, disclose everything you know and tell them "As Is", hence you may or may not get a premium, but your not lying.
Puffery is one thing but flat out lies should/will get you into trouble. Otherwise I have some Rolex watches I need to sell you with a smooth Seiko movement.
