hunters_life, I agree, and for sure NOT tryuing to make a debate here, just giving some info here!
the cheap repo's don't have much value to them, so fully agree with you!

but over the yrs many things have gone nuts, look at SP89's, they climbed like mad in value and just the semi version of the MP-5's,or even look at the some what cheaper clones of them like the kel tec (tec 9's)version of it
the media mad them soar in price/value.and they for sure were not anything special!


so, as I sad, some times even the junk can go higher if things get the media going enough to drive prices up, even if there still junk>?
its a crazy world, never know what will jump in prices
all the semi auto stuff sadly has a shot, pending what ends up with them down the road

Take street sweepers, at one time a over the counter shotgun< and again, nothing that great anyone would want to really carry?? But they too went into the class 3 market for reasons< I still don't get to be honest! there only a semi auto gun?
media and what not's cam make things become valuable, even if me and you think there junk HAHA!
I still cannot believe how many people collect old NIKE sneakers and the prices they pay for them, >< its a crazy world we now live in!
