A few years ago I was eyeing pretty hard a bespoke Spanish SxS in 16ga. I knew there was a big difference between original purchase price and what I could resell it for, but that didn't matter because the orignal purchase was a good deal.

Then there was a big price increase, so it was no longer such a good deal, plus the used market did not rise accordingly. Sort'a a one-two-punch. This convinced me that the guns were no longer a good deal.

Not saying they aren't fairly priced, but if we are talking fairly priced, then there are lots of guns out there to consider.
