There are 3 or 4 good ones each year nearby. I have noticed in the last 5 years or so that there are no bargains at sales anymore. They have started having simultaneous local and online auctions. That has put a floor on sales. At least half of the guns in the auction went to the internet this time. The sales prices were not overpriced, but were pretty much what it was fully worth. Good for the seller. Not so good for the buyer.
I also have noticed that most of the auctions have a number of well used (but well cared for) guns for sale. They are older ones. Newer guns (even if they are 20 or 30 years old) are little used. There are also a relatively large number of guns that have never been removed from their box. They still have tags and stickers all over them. It looks to me that by the time they got the money to buy whatever it is they wanted, they did not have enough life left to use them. That is sad.
I have started looking at new guns with the idea, "am I going to have much time to shoot it?" I already have more guns than I have time to shoot. I need to shoot more.
