A good gold PPK should be no more than about $6000 unless it has historical significance.
Tell that to the dude at GunWorld...lol... I used to go in and shoot there on lunch breaks whn it was $10. I loved walking around and silently mocking his prices. I remember a $29.99 20rnd box of Brown Bear 5.56... Range went up to $15 last time I was there. Haven't been in a few years
