Right now there's a sweet spot 1:1 ratio between people who desperately need to sell their guns to make rent payments and wacked out goofballs who are hoarding because "Obammy's gonna take away all our guns!!"

I discovered that the Garand I have is worth considerably more than I paid for it 6 years ago, but it's not going anywhere. I, too, have noticed the paranoid types are really paying top $ for certain guns. I guess I ought to watch the local auctions better; last winter, the semiannual gun sale in our area seemed quite high (price-wise). Guess the best pickings are for buyers who advertise, not average Joes like me. I'm never there when the desperate seller needs rent $; oh well!
