I suspect a lot of the guys here are C-S; for sure I'm one. It took me awhile to understand that a major part of my enjoyment of shooting had to do with the gun itself, not just shooting well, often, or both. Guns in my safe must work for me on all levels - shooting well enough, aesthetics, history, lessons learned, etc. We have to understand that there are many varied manifestations of collecting. Also, market is set gun by gun and each auction gun price is set by the two guys most intent on owning said gun.
