I think alleycat nailed most buyers it’s the chase for most to find a great condition firearm for a deal. The other half are the oh my god these are popular now and they don’t make em anymore which translates to prices are going up I better get one before I can’t afford it. I think of the lever guns in pistol calibers Marlin camp carbines and almost every milsurp that was in the barrel at roses lol. I’ve been hoarding pre lock S&W revolvers from the days a model 10 was $300 and you couldn’t give away the pencil barrel. Now I see a trend towards the 39 59 autos and pre lock revolvers are ridiculous . I’m about done with it all though I just chase barrel blanks and bullets now looking for that perfect group the new gun game just ain’t as much fun to me anymore.
