Everyone should own AT LEAST one! I bought my three from Pat Burns for from a low $300s model to a mid-$400s one. If you have (or get) a C&R license, your options multiply exponentially. I have seen some decent ones on Gun Broker go for less than $300.........you just have to find one and bid on it, and hope that at that point in time either hardly no one is looking for one, or they didn't spot it yet. On the flip side, I saw one last weekend that wasn't any better than the best ones from Pat B, go for OVER $700 
Someone wanted a 39 REALLY BADLY!!!
It also depends on what you want..........my first one was my first C&R purchase......I bought it because I liked the way it looked, and I read they were good weapons. The second was one of the "nearly new" arsenal rebuilt ones......real clean.....top shape.......its my keeper/"investment" so to speak........haven't even shot it yet My last one I bought for the unique receiver markings......its about a 25-30 percent finish/combat beatup stocked/tired looking warhorse, but I jumped on it because it still had the Imperial Eagle on the receiver, overstamped with a Hungarian arsenal rebuild stamp from the Budapest arsenal.....and it looked cool. That framed my search mode from then on........items that are pretty one of a kind. Besides...............it shoots great!
Find one you like.......pay what you are willing to pay...........worry about the value in five or ten years when the supply has dried up..........you'll be ahead all the way around.
