I bought a Browning 22 auto for $200 from a guy walking around with it a show awhile back. It had some blueing issues but was otherwise in sound condition. I continued down the aisle and sold it to a dealer a few tables down who offered me $400 within 10 minutes.
BTW: Forbes magazine listed sub-machine guns as one of the best investments a few years back!
