I've grown tired of walking past tables full of $1000 Garands that look like they were re-imported after 65 years buried in the Ardenne. Same for the $500 Model 10's that were apparently dragged behind patrol vehicles rather than carried in holsters while on duty.

Just because something is old (relatively speaking) or no longer in production does not mean it is automatically worth a ton of dollars, regardless of condition. Even in this day of the rapidly declining US currency.

That is the gun show scene in my part of PA and that is why I no longer waste my time.
