I go to and watch A LOT of firearms auctions. That pistol, as nice as it is, is a niche collector pistol. I compare it to the custom rifle market. People spend thousands of dollars having actions bedded, custom wood, etc. and when the family goes to sell them, they receive a fraction of the original cost. The same is true with custom vs. original vintage cars and refinished vs. original antique furniture. Originality, rarity, and condition drive the majority of the firearms collector's market.
