For me, the lost gun deal was in the 80's. I was in Billy Hodges emporium in Dallas and was shown a double rifle in 465 cal. for $5000 out the door. An engraved Manton, I recall with near perfect case color and condition. And it wasn't the only deal, since Kynoch had discontinued ammo and owners lamented.
Two guns I shouldn't have let go: one Greener princeps, and a double 9.3x74 rifle with Kersten locks...sigh.
 
Geesesh...A bunch of S&W handguns, back when they were practically being given away. A Ruger number one in 458WM and Blackhawk in 357 most recently.
