They must thought this being very hard to find. For many buyers, "rare" simply means they did not see it in local gun shops. Regular gun shops do not carry C&R pistols, so they thought it's very rare -- the volume reference gun is S&W M&P, or Ruger Mark III, Walther PPQ etc. Of course, it's rare comparing with current production guns. They did not know where to find these, and they cannot tell what's original finish etc. Safer play is buying a matching 80%. Nothing wrong, but there is a price trap. I bet they don't know Simpson LTD,,, this price is even higher than Simpson.

That's the reason I said the intrinsic value of this gun being high. This sample simply realized it. Not every gun can realize its intrinsic value though.
