Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The market decides.

Whodathunk that a Colt Python could command $4000? I've owned one and found it to be a problematic gun to load for due to the tight bore and chambers. Rounds that my S&W .357s digested would not chamber in the Python, and if they did, exhibited signs of high pressure. I had to load in separate batches.

Only guy I knew who was happy with one had it tuned for PPC and shot nothing but .38 HBWCs.

Same for M1 Garands. Some of us remember the time you couldn't give one away. Now they go for $1500. Most I ever paid for one was $250 and it came with a bandolier of ammo.

Yeah i know what you mean. The guys i shoot with all tell me of these mint military rifles they traded for a moose roast or bought for $50 out of a barrel at the hardware store. Hmmm now that i think about it a garand is getting close to brazilian mauser prices i wonder if i should be trying to trade one.
