I know people that collect them.
Funny, all the commemoratives Winchester built t in the 1980's. Most are ignored.
Take a useless thing that no one wants (Ruger Hawkeye) or so fugly that they don't sell (skeleton Ruger),
and they become collectors items.
Also, notice the two loser examples are Rugers.
And folks say about their ability to hit overlooked markets,
guess sometimes they just flat miss the market.
This post just doesn't make sense. Obviously, the "Ruger losers" are what people want, which is why they are willing to pay big dollars for them. And the "Winchester winners" are not what people want, hence ignored. Your perspective on reality is 180 degrees off according to the market right now.
