Dear David. You may be 100% right if someone is looking for a good untampered SST. However, it would be hard to come up with a price guide that factors all these considerations in because a 60% gun may or may not have a real good SST. I suspect that a person in desperate need of a good Hunter SST would snap up the gun even at $850 for the trigger alone, but I doubt that otherwise someone would pay an add on of almost 120% ($500) for the SST and another ($500) for the AE's on an otherwise 60% gun valued at approx. $850. It would be only reasonable to assume that the SST & AE's were in approximately the same condition ie. wear and tare as the rest of the gun. The gauge premiums are dictated basically on scarcity and demand although the manufacturer origanally did not charge a premium for smaller gauges. Hope this helps for what its worth. John Houchins
