Boxlocks are as they were.
Best guns in top condition sell if priced correctly and have increased steadily over the last decade.
There is money around for the good stuff, no question.
Where a person buys a gun at full retail from a dealer and then tries to sell it for the same or a profit a couple of years later, that gun will sit on the shelf. Why pay retail from someone who provides no dealer backup at the same money?
I bought a Purdey for 18,000 in 2005 and sold it immediately for 20,000. I was just asked to buy it back. I will sell it for 22,000 and return 20,000 to the vendor. He has shot that gun for six years with an annual rental of 0.
