My take on the market is that used custom rifles are quite weak right now as are English SxS's. Both are nothing like they were before the economic slow-down. While this would lead one to believe this might be a great time to expand their collection, if one looks at this from a business perspective they need to ponder whether this is a short term event. Personally, I look it as an buying opportunity but limit it to guns I really love instead of thinking it an investment. Years ago we weren't so selective because you knew it would be a fairly easy re-sell any if you wanted to recoup your cost. I also have noticed that odd calibers or unusual stock dimensions almost make it a show-stopper being nearly impossible to move a gun and so I stay well away from such. Good luck and if you find something you truly want then the time may be right for purchase.
