I used to think 70% of wholesale or a bit lower; and the rifle had to be super clean. Less if it was more used but not abused.
I think that Grasshopper may be somewhat of an optimist. Look at the 4 pages of unsold no.1's and their asking prices; and the success rate. Guess they got in when times were better etc. I really do not understand all the ins and outs of the resale businesses, just an observation.
No.1's are indeed a niche market; their market(cash) value varies across the country.
I saw a preowned Weatherby MKV, magnaported, Nikon scope, for 499 at a very large retailer, so the overall market is getting tougher it seems.
