While this is true to some degree it also clearly demonstrates prices collectors AREN'T willing to pay and that's what happens 90% of the time. 90% of the listings on Gunbroker result in a "No Sale"*
Gunbroker has a vested interest in maintaining the largest listing of firearms and militaria online and to do so they don't charge the seller until after the item actually sells no matter how long this takes. The result is that many sellers are on a fishing expedition and just continue to re-list an item since there's no cost involved to them. There are overpriced and overrated firearms that have been listed on Gunbroker seemingly forever. This is an ongoing joke on many of the firearms forums.
*If anyone here want's to see this for themselves go on to either Auctionarms or Gunbroker and watch "Going Going Gone" for an hour or so and you'll see what I'm talking about inre to "No Sales".
