Same as most mid priced guns in my opinion, the market is dead. I sold a cheap but very shootable British SxS recently to a retired gentleman. We talked over this very thing. He mentioned that he and his friends at one time could spend 5-6K on a gun and it was not a big deal. No more. He was shopping sub-1000$ and he said his friends now might go up to 2K, but they are not buying higher priced guns as the amount of disposable income available to them has decreased. I hear the same thing from many blue collar/middle class guys. The guys with the money, well that is a different story. I personally do not feel we have recovered from the economic down turn of 2008 and that is why the gun market, including Spanish guns, is still quite stagnate.
