In normal situation, value is derived from cost. Although high value guns could come at very low cost occasionally, that's definitely scarce situation on the market. If import mark does bring down the cost a lot, it's not all negative then. But I noticed import marks did not affect many guns imported from Europe and sold on Julia recently. "Import mark did not bring down the cost" from buyer's viewpoint, that's a little bit weird, but who knows, we'll keep observing.

A firearm that originated in the U.S. then for whatever reason was sent to another country and later brought back after 1968 still have to be import marked?
