Steven, I agree that it is a buyers market and more so buyers with cash in hand. To me the market is flooded with beaters, well worn out guns and poorly refinished or poorly maintained guns. High condition guns are rare and still command a solid price but not ever increasing prices.

Just as important to buyers there are more informed buyers and more buyers who come to sites like here asking questions. When a buyer learns what to look for 90% of the guns for sale quickly become guns he is not interested in buying. They linger on auction sites or the web for years as trash, clutter and background noise. For those guns there is almost no market at the asking price. That market is not soft it just does not exist.
