That is the way it goes. When you don't have something and want it, you cannot find it for a decent price. As soon as you have it, you can find plenty of it and cheap. A year after I bought my SBE, I was at the gun shop looking at a new gun and a guy wanted to sell his 1 year old SBE for $850 that was just like mine. Mind you, I had just paid $1,350 for mine brand new the year before. I passed the deal on to a friend and he bought it right away. He wanted a gun like mine until he saw the price tag on it new. He even had to stretch to buy that used SBE, but he loved it once he got it.
My list of wants has gotten a lot longer since we bought this house.
