I am interested in the pricing of "extra" barrels. I think that with a new gun an extra set of barrels is often thirty per-cent (or more) of the price of the gun.

Some time ago I posted a message on the forum asking about the availability of a 5E NID receiver and iron to go with a set of VR barrels that are currently fit to my 4E. I found that such a search was a fools errand and someone suggested that they would be interested in the barrels for say $300. I thought wow barrels must not be very valuable. So my question is: if barrels are say $300 on the used market why are they so much more expensive on the new market? Modern guns, like Perazzi with extra barrels do not seem to suffer such a large discount.
