I pay a premium for condition. Would you pay a premium for a used car with very low miles? Most would. Same goes in guns in my mind for a multitude of reasons. You leave out too many details to give an accurate answer but a like new Purdey is worth well more than 1000$ more than a well used one. Same goes for a small bore graded Parker. Depends upon on the gun and the premium but I certainly assign a premium to high condition.
