New Model 70 Scarcity?

24 years ago, I went into a pretty well known gun store in a small town in Michigan because it was on my way home from somewhere. Sitting in the used gun section was a pristine M70 Super Express in .375 H&H. It was a thing of beauty. Asking price was $699. The store owner said the guy bought the gun, shot it 3 times, didn't like the recoil, brought it back and traded it against a 7MM Rem Mag. I had not yet made my first trip to Africa but a Cape Buffalo was on my Bucket List so that gun followed me home and in full stealth mode went into my gun safe.

Well 3 weeks ago, that gun finally fulfilled it's destiny and killed a Cape Buffalo with one shot (did the insurance shot but it was DOA when we got there) thanks to the expert PH work of Marius at KMG.

Now all I wanna do is hunt Buffalo with that gun.

I am going to go to Texas and hunt a Nilgi with it this winter.

Out of curiosity, what have been the going rates on the Super Express 375 in excellent shape?
$1500-$1600 if controlled round feed. Less if push feed. They were made both ways.
