do merkels hold value ....? how well.

[hofts]

my question is that if a guy buys a new merkel shotgun o/u or sxs, lower end, lets say around $6,500.00.

if you hunt with it (use it) and take care of it after 10-15 years is it going to be worth

a. $1,500.00 or less.
b. somewhere around $5000.00
c. $6500.00 or more.
d. too hard to say, no way to tell.
e. around $2,500.00


thanks
