Fit (stock) and balance make a shotgun shoot well.
Careful fitting of the action (or replaceable bits as on many better fixed breech guns) make for a longer lasting gun.
Hand engraving and choice wood make for a prettier gun.
The first two are important (#1 being mandatory) the third is where you spend lots and lots of extra dough. You can get the first 2 items for around $2k or even less (talking o/u's and sxs) with new guns. $$ spent beyond that is, IMO, all about looks.
No matter what shotgun you are shooting the powder smells yummy and there is no more gratifying sight than a bird cleanly folded or a clay turning to powder.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
