You raise an interesting point and the prices of surplus arms are all over the chart. Fortunately, a careful shopper can find bargains if they are willing to put in the effort and look around. It is more than mere supply and demand and I suspect includes a bit of greed and gall. Some gun shops and dealers are out of touch with current reality. If you really want to get some chest pains, spend an hour looking at the prices at various Cabela's gun libraries. Nothing wrong with that since this is a free market economy. I see a lot of stuff for sale at prices I would never entertain and usually end up paying less, often a lot less. All the best...
