My late Great Aunt and late mother both had entire houses full of antiques and fine china. The value of it has dropped by more than half in the last 20 years of their life. And it has continue to go down in value. Since demand for antiques is low, even in my family, I had complete choice of what I wanted. But still, I can only deal with so much stuff. It is the same with guns. Interest is dropping every day in the general population so as demand goes down and soft prices are getting worse. Decent Fox shooters, which would have brought 800 ten years ago, are worth more like 500 now. Beaters are just about impossible to sell and same with worn out British doubles. High quality will always have a market but lesser guns will not bring decent prices ever again.
