I know that 12-bore double guns are becoming fairly inexpensive, and that's nothing new anymore. That market is fairly saturated now because the primary aficionados (the Boomers) are headed for the exits and the generations behind them either don't know or don't care about them. You can argue why until the cows come home, but those are the facts as I see them.
What I ran across yesterday, however, was a lovely sub-gauge gun (cased 16 British BLE, 28 tubes, 5lbs10, in lovely shape) that is shockingly cheap ($1,500, and is still for sale today). Makes me a little sad, but it also confirms my approach to this game. I only own what I use (and am interested in). As investments, these guns are now a dead-end game. It's been a good run (for almost all of my life) but as society evolves they have become something of a liability, at least in the eyes of the younger generations. Own them purely for your own pleasure, but don't be fooled into thinking they're treasures anymore. They certainly are to you (because you're here, reading this) but world has changed, and remarkably so...
