With the continously rising prices in firearms aw well as other collectibles we've all experienced thru the 90s and early into this century; it's certainly been a sellers market and that held until recently. Many sellers were indifferent about sales as they could be fairly certain that prices would ramp up again.
I believe this is now over for the forseable future and prices will certainly flatten and may very well decline in some areas.
For the majority of us,and I place myself in this category, pricing isn't all that relevant as we primarily bought firearms for our own use and enjoyment.
I think we are going to be entering a buyers market for the forseable future and this seems to be true in in the "assault weapons. area. Sales of these were very high up until the start of Summer with most dealers unable to keep any in stock. Now Ar15 type rifles seen to be available everywhere albiet at prices that are IMO too high. Benelli shotguns were another item that was hard to obtain until recently.
Correspondingly it seems that the great ammo rush has come to an end and my out club has lifted their rationing regulations.
Apparentely everyone who felt the need for an assault type rifle and a stockpile of ammo has now acquired them and demand has fallen back to normal.
If anyone reading this has noticed anything different I'd be interested in hearing about it.
