What Lloyd said. Anything 12 gauge is tougher, it seems, inspite of it being the most vesatile.
If M. McIntosh and D. Zutz were still writing books about double guns, I supect they would be complaining how hard it is getting to be to sell them, too.

There's several reasons for that.
Here's one...as more and more people delve into vintage guns they become more educated to their faults and flaws.
Must admit I had not considered the role education plays in driving the price of double guns down
I have believed that education usually feed the passion and demand for them, but as you note it also makes buyers more discerning.
Ultimately, while you maybe right that it is a factor, I doubt it is as dominant as the demographics are changing along with reduced hunting opportunities.
If it were driven more by aged guns and their flaws then new manufactured gun sales would not be as they are.
