Note that I pigeon-hole gun buying into Collector, Collector-Shooter, Shooter-Collector, and Shooter as a means of sorting the emphesis individual buyers place on the combination of condition/rarity/art/history/etc. vs utility. The Collector buys for purposes other than shooting. The Collector-Shooter wants to shoot his guns, but will pay rather considerably for features additional to utility. The Shooter-Collector looks first for utility and then extra features. The Shooter is willing to pay very little for extra features beyond the utility of the gun.
