How Much Would You Pay For a True Unicorn?

It sounds like the value is being placed on the rarity and application. I see the estimate pricing and the final cost will boil down to two collectors. Two of which will have an almost endless supply of money to drive off all other perspective buyers. Most of the people looking at this item will most likely have a specific juanra If you buy that rifle, you should ask yourself a few questions.
1. Do you have the funds to actually win. It may be easier to want to buy and not bid, versus bidding and losing. IDK?
2. Will you miss the money?
3. Ask yourself again, will you miss the money? Ask again.
4. Are you OK knowing your family will probably lose money trying to sell it after you are gone.
a. In this case everyone in your family should know what you paid so when your dead.
b. Need a sale plan should you leave the gun behind when you depart.
c. What is your annual insurance cost? Don't tell me you don't have insurance.
5. Will you have buyers remorse.
6. Will it be shooter, if so will it be shot enough to justify the cost.

Last month they had a Beautiful custom 416 safari bolt gun I was watching. I missed the auction due to work and it sold for $2900. I'm less upset having missed versus having bid and lost, or having bid and over paying in the heat of the moment.
Actual picture below.
questions to me:
1. Do I need another safari gun, yet alone another 416 Rigby.
2. Will I ever actually go to Africa? Not as long as my wife has a say.

Super rare, so is a real civilian Tiger. I can only guess at price.
The NDM (Norinco) copy is also pretty rare. I have watched 2 go through ODT in my time. That is probably 10-15k at this point.
I'm thinking a true LUXRY gun, like a Beretta 80X with a low serial number. Either like new or with a really low round count. I would probably have to drive a long way and pay for gas, but knowing people know what they got, it would be a steal at 3K.
Well I ran the serial number 001 Ruger USST Olympic Mark II last year to $3500 on GB and lost it. About twice what I wanted to pay. But I have 002. I still regret not going to $4000. Hopefully it'll come back up in the future.
You bid $3,500 on a Ruger .22? We need to have a talk, LOL.
How many other folks were bidding on it past the $500 mark?
Well 5 figures? Got to think on this, guess I can not afford one!
They are very expensive.
