One additional measure of the state of the Gun Market:

I purposely put 28 different Shotguns and Rifles on a "Watch List" at GunBroker.com about two weeks ago.
The list was a mix of newer and older items. Single shot and Bolt action rifles. Double barrel, pump and automatic shotguns.
As of today, all the auctions have ended and NOT A ONE OF THEM HAD EVEN A SINGLE BID!
Tells you a lot about wether or not it is a buyer's or seller's market.
