You can buy guns that are over 50 years old, or are on the C&R list for cheap, usually. Whether the guns are cheap or not depends on whether the guns have much collector interest. For example, you can't get near a Luger in decent condition for much less than $1000. Russian Nagant revolvers, on the other hand, you can still get for $150 or less. Anything you buy on a C&R license you can have shipped directly to your house (unless you live in Cal, NJ and a couple of other socialist republics) which is definitely a plus. Also, there are many companies like Midway, Brownell's, etc. that will give you a discount on stuff if you send them a copy of your C&R. They are definitely worthwhile to have.

Here are a few of my favorite sources for C&R guns:
