High-priced H&R "collectors"

[TheCoachZed]

Has anyone else noticed a few ....optimistically..... priced H&R singles on the EE lately?

I personally find it amusing when they are labeled as collector guns, but even more humorous when an older, used, beat-up gun is being sold for almost the same price as a new one that will handle steel shot and has a better action....

They can always dream................I picked up a used H+R 158/30.30 20 years ago as a trainer for my son's for big game driving home the importance of making the first shot count.Best $100 I ever spent it killed lots of deer and one moose Shoots 1/2 MOA or better off the bench any day...topped with a 4x Banner......Harold

Well the 158s are a different story. I would certainly pay a decent price for one of those.

H+r

I find the used prices stupid in general wether it is on EE or retail. They ask more or the same as new. Just don't get it. Do purchasers low ball, I can't see people paying these prices. They should advertise sold prices.

have you tried to buy a new one?

seems to me they are pretty much ALL becoming Collector items

The only collectible single from H&R that i am aware of is the rare "Harrich" trap gun, made for H&R in Austria, and way ahead of it's time...IMHO

I have only ever seen one Harrich, It looked great and apparently functioned very well. It is the only H&R I would pay more than 100$ for.

The terms Collectors piece and rare seems to be misused frequently in general.

 

[Turkeyslayer 1300]

Collectors piece seems to mean any gun that there isn't 2 million plus off and rare just means that the fellow selling it only owns one or two of them.

Original ones maybe hard to find in the future. Seeing all the posts about cutting them down and turning them into Seven Eleven Guns.
