There’s always a market for nice/high grade guns, but if you want to see where the market is check the auction results. Inventory at the big dealers is to a large degree, consignment items. I laugh at the prices on some of that stuff. No one wants to take a discount and lose money; however, based on the time value of money if you don’t sell for substantially more than you paid, you’ve lost money. People selling small bore Parkers now are realizing nice gains, as evidenced by the realized price for that G-grade 28 G&D recently sold. Guns can be great investments, in hindsight, so just buy what you like and shoot it. If steel shot becomes a thing it’s because conservative voters did not get out and vote.
