I must agree that the SXS market is, at best, soft. I was Pres. of The Palm Beach Gun Collectors for many years. We put on our club shows at least 3 times per year in Lake Worth..and at The So. Florida Fairgrounds. We also did the Lakeland show and Tulsa for several years. With my main interest being double guns, I watched pretty closely what the prices did...in the different locations..and the slide downward has been somewhat constant. Our shows were guns/knives only...but the majority of shows allow anything that will fit on a table. It seems that the 'younger generation " all speak AR-15, etc. I sold out once, and about broke even..11 years ago..I'm replacing things again, but have no visions of profit if I were to sell again. I'll let the kids, grandkids..and as of this year..GGrandson do as they wish with the collection. I hope they enjoy everything as much as I have..jv..
