Nostalgia & gun prices
Does nostalgia affect the prices people are prepared to pay for old guns. Over the last 12 month or so there seems to be a lot of old guns fetching in my opinion, far too much money, being priced very close to brand new guns of similar quality. They may have been good in their day, but I would suggest not a patch on the good quality modern stuff. As an example, if you were to come across a mint boxed example of a BSA Airsporter S would you buy it over a brand new Air Arms Prosport for the same price, Or maybe a Feinwerkbau Sport mk11 over a Weihrauch HW80. I certainly wouldn't, but it seems there are a good few who would. I do appreciate a collector may be prepared to pay a premium, but those who intend to shoot the gun on a regular basis

Law of any kind only affects those willing to abide by it.
