Round count vs price

Has more too do with bore condition and function of firearm
Round count dosnt bother me if its is perfect condition ive seen low round count guns that are beat too #### yet high round count gun with a responsible owner that look like new.
 
round count is mostly BS anyways, as it's impossible to verify except where the handgun has obviously had the wheels shot off of it. It's all condition, and what you can negotiate. like a car, once it's off the lot (or been fired once) it's no longer new, and a balance between what the owner wants, and what the market will bear......again, EE is a case in point, though often a better example of the first rather then the later condition :)
 
Handguns hold their value pretty well. Most decent pistols if taken care of would likely handle 100,000 rounds and still keep ticking. Round count really isn't an issue, condition and maintenance would be my first concern.
Now if you are talking target rifle in some bore burner cartridge that has a know life span for accuracy....ie 2500 rounds before the barrel needs to be replaced that's a diff story.
 
I have a friend who bought a new G22 from Epps, (who he's be dealing with for decades), shot it (less than a box), didn't like it for some reason, traded it in on a CZ 2 days later. He got 40% of what he paid for it. The thing was listed 2 days later for $25 less than brand new. Go figure.
 
I bought a Colt 1911 that was made in 1917 with an unknown round count, the spent casings were bulged out so I bought a new barrel from Gunnar for $100 and change...spent a couple of hours fitting it into the gun and it now works flawlessly. The point is guns can be fixed even if "shot out" as long as you don't pay top dollar.
