Used to be some shops around in central Pa (Shumans) and a couple on the eastern shore where nice doubles just seemed to show up from time to time. Internet for both bad and good changed everything. Everyone now thinks their Parker VH 12 gauge with 30" barrel covered in rust is worth 3K because they saw one for sale at that price on the WWW.
PS. I bought my first graded Fox in a small gunshop in Front Royal Va. Place has now been out of business for years. Used to also be some nice gunshops in Alexandria Va but no more. Tough to make a living when black guns are what 95 percent of the population wants.
