If not a collector, there is a guide:

http://www.amazon.com/Gun-Digest-Buy.../dp/089689844X

It's available in Borders, B&N etc. Most guns are priced lovely in this guide. For example, excellent byf $900, excellent bolo Mauser $900, excellent K date $1500, excellent G date $1250.....

I searched but could not find definition of "excellent" in the guide. On the contrary, lots of credit is given to modern guns, Glock 26 $650, S&W 1911 $1200. I scratched my head trying to understand if $1500 could buy an "excellent" K Date, why should I pay $1200 for a S&W 1911 practically having endless supply? Probably NIB so I have no choice? Cannot I simply not buying anything?
