IMHO
Because sub-$900 shooters require significant effort/patience to find, and (in my admittedly limited experience) generally have various issues with respect to bore and appearance.

A new production unit would presumably be cosmetically perfect, and some like that.

For example, my favorite shooter is a M1900 with significant appearance issues. I paid $1,150 for it, and based on my enjoyment of that pistol I would consider buying an excellent M1900 reproduction in the $1,200 to say $1,800 range. I don't think I'm alone, but I also don't think it's a big market. The technology is not there yet to produce an accurate M1900 in my acceptable price range, but the cost trend is encouraging.
