I also have a used 1898 pistol, excellent, I will ask $8000. How could a very useful 2000-pound complex object be much cheaper than a useless 2-pound simple object... that's the market.

Then how do you explain used cars with prices of $10k, or 20k, or even 40k?

$5k is not "a lot" for a used car; just a lot for some used cars!

$8k IS a lot for a pistol over 100 years old!
