You have to factor in grade and condition into this discussion.A true mint gun of any gauge will bring top dollar now.The mid level condition guns that people used to buy to hunt with are very hard to sell now.I would bet that most of us in this association started our gun collecting by buying a used Parker to hunt with.Todays hunters are buying synthetic stocked guns to use.The only way they are introduced to good doubles is by running into one of us at a shoot or show.The middle level guns that held up the price structure are declining and therefor we get the "boat anchor"story from dealers who want to turn inventory.
