Obviously rare guns fall into a different category. They are hard to find. When the RMEF gun shows up for goodness knows how much, can you blame a guy for spending that much when only 60 were made?

But it will still be far above "market value", because market value isn't set by one person. It's set by the market. A reasonable market value was set last month on a public auction.

But this was a very, very nice 99R in 300. Anybody who wants one can find one fairly easily, I've got one with a hang tag. Anybody is free to spend their money the way they want.. but $1900 is cray-cray.
