I am going through my collection, photographing each item and inventorying in preparation to sell a large chunk of it, and researching the prices is sort of crazy-making. Prices for things are all over the map, and don't make a ton of sense. I get why Long Branch Lee Enfields are fetching between 600-800, given the Canadianicon connection and such, but I don't quite understand the sudden uptick in pricing on the Schmidt-Rubin K31s. Mosin Nagants have kind of stalled, likely because there are so many of them, but SVT40s have really taken a jump. It would seem that the way prices are going it is soon not going to be possible for someone just starting out to actually afford any of the nice old milsurps.
