Hello Stefan,
I thought so, initially, as well about the prices. But maybe the prices are high because of the "rarity" of the guns being offered for sale.
Another thought is that the "asking" price is usually not the actual "selling" price. A high asking price allows for price negotiations which can lead the seller into getting the price he/she really wanted all along and gives the buyer the feeling he/she got a great deal by being able to get the seller to "reduce" the price.
Very common capitalistic practice...
