Thanks Josh - I'll take it.
Numbers are factual data and I'll accept that we had that many visitors. Maybe it was because of the holidays and folks were at home and free to visit their favorite websites.... Whatever the reason, I'll take it.
Folks not bringing money to gun shows...? Maybe they just didn't feel like parting with their money for mediocre guns...?
These days there are literally hundreds and hundreds of mediocre guns on internet sales and auction sites... and I believe this is why the values appear to be bottoming out... But not so for the more highly desirable guns - high grade, high condition, small bore, unusual configuration guns are holding their value... but the market is flooded with mediocre guns - hence the appearance of the bottom falling out.
