There are several reasons 12 gauge doubles in general are loosing value.The main one in my opinion,is that very few serious shooters now use a 12 for anything but duck hunting. The advent of steel shot put most 12 doubles on the sideline.Younger waterfowlers want more firepower and a gun that can get wet and beat up without worry.As for upland hunters,most have gone to small gauge guns.Also,the gun market has gone to almost a pure collector market.Any gun in mint condition,even a 12,will bring more than ever.But the price difference between 100% and 90% condition has never been greater.
