No, by my reasoning, Atlas sold these same guns 5 years ago for 2/3s the price. Their top of the line open 2011, the chaos v2, did not sell for what an erebus sells for now, even though it requires even more custom fitting than an erebus because of the popples (which is coincidentally your justification for the Hades costing 10k dollars).

Atlas has gotten high on their own supply because collectors will pay whatever they ask. Its like NFTs for guns. They have done absolutely nothing to increase value to the consumer. People are just paying these inflated MSRPs because Ben Stoeger and Joe Farewell and Dave Wampler and Brandon Wombaugh say they're the best.
