Over my gun buying career, I have passed up many ragged out Purdeys for between $5000 and $15000. I have also passed up several unmolested, some pristine Purdeys for between $9000 and $45000. I don't think many of the ragged out Purdeys are worth any more today than what they were offered for over the last forty years. The unmolested guns are worth roughly twice to three times the price they were offered for. That is just my opinion about these particular guns, but I remember the good ones like it was yesterday and would not make the same mistake again at the same prices.
