You got this so right. I seen it also. In other things also. Yes guns just keep going up no matter they are used. Go to a estate auction and you see used guns go for more then you can buy used. That is the same maker and all the same . I had a friend told me about a person went to one and there was a 22lr wheel gun for sale and the person did not what to spend the price on it and one gun said he had one and then person was willing to pay him for the same price he can get a new one.
