Mr Boyd is frustrated by chicken$hit buyers who give their wives oversight of their spending habits as the excuse for them not buying a gun; however, if guns were priced right thered be fewer tire kickers. The SxS market has been soft for several years but asking prices rarely reflect that as evidenced by the long term listings on the auction sites that keep being relisted. On Gunsinternational there are roughly 800 British guns for sale and 600 or so Parkers, just to give two examples. Over-supply maybe? How many SxS shooters are there? Fewer and fewer given the aging population and mediocre participation in previously well-attended vintager shoots. If dealers want to stimulate the market they need to price their guns right.
Certainly an element to consider. Remember Father Guido Sarduci? 5 minute university? Economics - supply and demand
The discussion in the stock market thread pretty much covered it all
