There are also weird buyers. When my son was still in the Army, I found a 16 ga French double, cheap, that I thought would make a nice double rifle( 8x57IRS). I thought if my son was stationed in Germany, I could visit him and have Walter Grass convert it. When my son got out of the Army and I didn't have this chance any longer, I decided to sell the gun. I put it on my table in the local gun show, priced at $250. It didn't sell, so at the next show, I priced it $350. It still didn't sell, but at the next show, it sold when I priced it $450. It went to someone I knew had looked at it in the earlier shows. I guess he didn't want a "piece of junk" $250 gun, but finding a really nice "sleeper" for only $450 was a lot more prestigious.
