I only buy used guns, and when I buy one I want to be able to think that if I do not like it I will be able to turn around and sell it for no more than a $200 loss.
This puts a lot of low to mid price guns within my reach and comfort zone. It's hard to lose $200 on a $350 to $900 gun. I will pay $100 or even $200 extra to get a low to medium priced gun that is "rare" or that has character.
However, my comfort (and the high prices) combine to keep me from purchasing the "really rare" guns that I would like to own. For example, I am not comfortable buying a Winchester Model 21 Trap, a Registered Magnum or a Dakota for $6,000, knowing that I might only get back only $4,000 if I were to sell right away.
