SENDING MY COLLECTION TO AUCTION

[B. Dudley]

Auction houses are usually all about optomism and selling you on their ability to get the most money for your item. Maybe they honestly felt that their apprasal was what the guns were worth. ???

As for the future of overall prices on SxSs increasing much, I think I see the "fat lady" approaching the stage.

I must agree that the SXS market is, at best, soft. I was Pres. of The Palm Beach Gun Collectors for many years. We put on our club shows at least 3 times per year in Lake Worth..and at The So. Florida Fairgrounds. We also did the Lakeland show and Tulsa for several years. With my main interest being double guns, I watched pretty closely what the prices did...in the different locations..and the slide downward has been somewhat constant. Our shows were guns/knives only...but the majority of shows allow anything that will fit on a table. It seems that the 'younger generation " all speak AR-15, etc. I sold out once, and about broke even..11 years ago..I'm replacing things again, but have no visions of profit if I were to sell again. I'll let the kids, grandkids..and as of this year..GGrandson do as they wish with the collection. I hope they enjoy everything as much as I have..jv..

I don't know why the double-barrel market would ever go down. Did no one listen?
