If it's in good shape and you like it, I think that $600 wouldn't be an atrociously bad deal for a 94 Big Bore (just kind of a "most definitely could have done better" deal). Nonetheless, I wouldn't take $600 for mine. I have it topped with a vintage Weaver V4.5, and it has shot quite well with 200 and 250 grain factory loads (the latter long discontinued, AFAIK) as well as handloads with the Speer 220 grain flatnose slug. Quite agree that the chance of significant value appreciation is pretty low.
