I usually do not jump into discussions of value, but in this case I have to agree with Vern... "I don't think $700 is all that bad. You could have a very long wait to find one in as good a shape and cheaper". There is no way this gun only worth half the asking price, and in this day and age a $400 shooter (i.e. one that will really shoot and isn't a total bucket of rust) is a myth unless you happen to stumble across an unsuspecting widow with one at a yard sale. I would rather see this one at $600, but 6 months to a year from now it is going to seem like a bargain.
