I will be using that Ballard at this years bench matches.  If I work out a lot more I might be able to shoot it offhand. —NOT!

In my first post I meant to imply that with prices going up in most things and wages staying the same or jobs harder to get along with redundancies some people are having trouble money wise and are putting off buying other than essentials like primers or powder.

... especially when you add in auction fees.

Amen to that and let me also add that most auctions are now collecting sales tax which can add a pretty penny to the bill. Then add in the high cost of shipping and a thousand dollar bid can easily escalate to $1250-$1300 final cost. I know I calculate all those costs before I consider bidding. This affects sale prices.

I've been watching (not bidding) the weekend's Amoskeag Auction.  Lots of nice single shots.  The really high end stuff went for really high end prices. A Bullard single shot with a Farrow tang sight went for $18,000.

But most of the single shots, nice enough keepers, went for less than the low end of the auction estimate spread.

We're a bunch of obso-geezers with expensive toys that nobody else wants. When we're gone, what will become of all those High Walls and Ballards and Hepburns?

All the single shots had bids, even if they were bottom-feeders. There were some plastic pistols that nobody wanted.

Someone thought so, and I might suggest, didn't want to wait to pay more to have one built!

I wouldn't worry about any of it at this point. The jig is just about up. Chaos and anarchy will be here before November along with an economic collapse the likes the world has never seen before. Nobody is going to be paying attention to the price of single shot rifles anymore.

Not to mention the new red flag laws that have been rolled out. If the Government doesn't like you , you won't have any guns to play with.

I'm buying any the Best quality British falling block rifles for 30% of market value out of the kindness of my heart Grin Cash out now before the bottom falls out  Cool

I buy and sell way more British guns than American, the market for really good single shot rifles is very strong, surprisingly so I feel. Average stuff, not so much, weak demand and typical or even low prices. 

Send me your Gibbs, your Hollands, Frasers and others while there is still time. I'm here to help  Grin

Hey Steve,

Count me in for any Alex. Henry, Daniel Fraser, George Gibbs, or Holland single shot rifles.

I'll guarantee you a nice profit.  You buy at 30% and sell to me at 50%.

Deal, eh?

Curly

Don’t overlook the disability issue. Short armed people can’t pay high prices.
