I sold an H&R .32 Self Loading pistol (sometimes "self-loader") around 1989-90 for $350 - or more accurately used it in a trade to acquire a Colt SP1 Carbine, adding about $100 IIRC to the trade for the AR. Wondering if I traded off a hidden gem prematurely back in '89, I checked Gunbroker to see what they are going for today. Starting bid prices ranging from $299 - $400 or so, but no bites. 27 years later and still selling for right around the same price I sold mine for.
I'm always perplexed at why some guns appreciate and become high-demand collectibles while others are doomed to the wastebasket of "just another old gun"
