I don't follow you-- if a man says he is looking for an honest double under $3000 (if I read his post correctly) that tells me he has up to that figure available in cash money-doesn't mean he plans to maybe spend all of it-- So where do you get the idea he should also consider sellin' in this rather crappy sellers market. I don't buy guns to re-sell (unless their are parts-out guns, and even there I am very choosy) I buy them to shoot--that's what they were made for, and by God and the good Saint Harry- I intend to to that with them as long as I can- I do have lines out on a few Ithaca 12's with DT-- I think the Flues and the NID Ithacas are real "sleepers" as compared with the prices being asked for Parkers, LC Smiths and AH Fox guns- and I won't even mention the Limey doubles- they are so far outta my reach--anyway--lotsa good field 12 side-by-sides with DT out there for under a grand- just have to be patient-
