For drbuster,
Concerning your accounting of the price for full rigs, I would suggest you failed to take into account the factor known as "gestalt", to wit: the whole is more than the sum of it's parts.
I have several full rig Imperial Navy pistols and I can state with some experience that a $3500 pistol in a $1500 holster attached to a $1700 holster with a $250 mag pouch and a $300 carry strap is easily worth $12-15K if the stuff is an original set . Piece parts are nice and help enhance a rig, but trying to deduce the value of the piece parts by de-constructing the value of a matched rig is, at best, folly.
