Guys, I hear what you're saying. But, if it were me selling that gun, I'd start it at a lower price, like $600, and let the market decide where to take it. Not, start it at $1150. That's knocking at the door of the highest price I've ever paid for any of my rifles. And trust me, none of them look even remotely like that one. But, I do a lot of diggin' around to find mine. I'm picky as hell, but I don't mind paying for a nice one.
Smart man, that way these are a true investment and if/when you decide to sell them, you can do so and make someone very happy with a great deal and know you treated them right. I hear you. Guilty of doing the same kind of thing myself....
