One of the things that the Spanish makers have working against them is that the price on used Spanish doubles has not been keeping up with the price on new ones. If you want $6-8,000 (or more) for a new double, it helps if the used price on the same model is 70% or so of the price new. In the case of Spanish guns, it seems to be more in the 40-50% range for guns in quite high condition. Most buyers will buy the used gun and tweak it to fit.
I say this having just bought a new AYA 4/53 28 gauge, which I got at a very good price in Cabelas' Hamburg, PA store. Had it not been deeply discounted, I'd have moved on, but the price I paid seems to be about 25% more than similar quality used ones sell for and about 1/2 of what the Bournbrook models (which appear to be finished quite similarly to mine, including the engraving pattern, save for the action on mine not being "round") being imported by M.W. Reynolds. A $3,000-3,500 new Spanish boxlock is reasonable. The same gun at $6,500 is going to sit a long time on a dealer's shelf.
