Hey folks, Montana resident here

I never owned a modern Mini but I've owned several older ones including my current which is a 1982 folder. So naturally when I came across an old Muzzlelite stock to add to my reference collection I went to go buy it a period correct Mini and the prices seem completely insane! I'm wondering is this a Montana issue or is everyone else seeing the same?

For better context, I'm seeing stainless 183's going for a gran and blued versions going anywhere from 8 to a gran. GB versions are going for more. Like it's to the point where an older Mini costs just as much as a brand new Mini and I'm wondering if I should just get a new one at this point for my Muzzlelite stock.
