The small bore market seems fairly good for nice guns to me but the 12 market is differently very soft. Good guns are slow to sell and low level ones very hard to sell around here. A dealer friend has stopped taking doubles into his shop for consignment sales and what he offers for them in trade is almost nothing. At his current sales rate he won't need more inventory for a long time. Dropping prices does nothing to stimulate interest. Low grade gun in anything but mint condition just draw no interest. Maybe closer to hunting season it will pickup but I doubt it.
Non model 12 pumps are slow movers unless set up for urban combat. I just bought a Ithaca solid rib Skeet gun in 20 ga for a song. Better than 95% condition with uncut stock. I haven't seen so many bargains in guns I like since 2008. Now hand guns, black guns and big name collectible guns like Browning, Winchester and Parkers are selling well around here. Cash is king and with it you can improve your collection of shooters very nicely right now.
