It goes in cycles. A Facebook group I'm on recently had a discussion of the
Springfield "Trapdoor" rifles which when I was a lad could be had for cheap
that are now getting into the $700-$800 range for decent examples. The ones
with a story "Owned rifles" can go for very big money.
Remember these are pre-1900 rifles, they were 100 years old or more when I was
born...

Just testing the waters? I would not pay what was bid. Nice car but
unless I had a collection of old cars like Jay Leno, I cannot imagine
what I would do with it.
I would suggest that anyone who thinks he has a really valuable antique
should sell now for what he can get. I predict that these cars will
become worth much less with time. We like them but our children could
care less about most of the antique stuff we have collected. Auctions
can hardly give away grandma's prize possessions that commanded big
dollars only a few years back.
