I wonder if we can speculate that collectible doublegun prices might be on the rise

Nope, with the way the economy is going who is spending loose money. Forget all the market indications, talk to business owners, supply house's, and the biggy lawyers divorce is down and crime is up. When divorce goes up and crime down then you'll see funny money changing hands. My business has slowed in some areas but bloomed in security CCTV and swipe card entry. Home theators, wireing for business, server and work station sales down. I have seen clients that have been with me for 10-15 years close shop, pool and spa business, cabinetry, electrical contractors, large office rental firms on there balls.

Of course many had debt, but the guys like myself that own everything with no debt not even a mortgage survive in any economy. But many who lived fat on the arm had all the cars, house for 30 people, vacation homes, and of course all the top grade guns. That is where I feel where seeing the icing on the cake of dealers putting out the goods. I know a few dealers that have been buying 30 cents or less on the dollar, they certainly aren't going to sell on a down turn.
A few of the guns I have bought in the last year have been on offers that they claimed I was nuts and a few days later they called me back wanting to know if the offer still stood.

So with all these fat cat wanne be's it excites me to hand them a fire hose when there drowning.
