To each his own brother Lowell. For me, I have scaled my collection back to just a few real nice ones. Then again, I'm a single guy with no kids. My only dependants are my springers. But back to your original question, lots of good guns never see the market. Most in my humble opinion. The guns I have bought from individual collectors have been very fairly priced, and of much better quality than what you find on the net. Just one mans take.
