One of the best double gun web sites in England is Sportarm in Dorchester. Sportarm If you like English guns, check out this site periodically, as their selection is varied and interesting. I have never had any business dealings with them, but would be interested in any opinions of this dealer.

In 2011 I bought a fantastic Perazzi SHO with three pairs of barrels - immaculate!
Very correct in business and form of communication.
I hope to soon be able to do another deal with an top over-under shotgun.

One interesting thing I found was that a common AYA #2 round frame is now 7800 BP, which is over $10,000

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

It's the new guns that are unbelievable. Used AYAs in UK are like Mossburgs. I don't understand it at all.

True, second hand AyA's can be picked up here for a fraction of the cost of new. The smaller bores tend to hold well but 12's and 16's not so much. Lagopus.....

Do used guns have a different vat than new guns? Does that get reflected in the price or is the higher price just reflect the Euro/pound rate with a good bit of inflation.

No VAT on used guns unless a re-import.
At the moment one of the best buys are English 12 bore side by side boxlock non-ejectors. No one seems to want them and the price has gone way down. I've just bought a lovely little 16 bore Midland Gun co. BLNE at auction for 120 plus commission which made it 140.20p. and it was in its canvas case to boot. 90% plus of original case hardening. Hardly used and totally sound. I'm pleased with it for my collection but 30 years ago that gun would have gone for almost 3 times that. But saying that some run of the mill but still sound European over/unders in 12 bore failed to attract any bids at all. As they had no reserve the first to bid 10 would have got them. The ones holding up well are the better grade doubles and 20 bores and smaller, decent hammer guns and muzzle loaders. Hard to see which way the market is going but anyone looking for a double and doesn't mind it not having ejectors can pick up some bargains here at the moment. I was hoping that Diggory's book on boxlocks might raise the profile. It seems everyone is after 20 bore O/U's. Lagopus.....

I purchased a 28b boxlock from them about a year ago. Kind of expensive, but when it finally arrived here in the U.S. it was just as described, a nice, solid little gun in decent condition.
So my experience with them was positive.
