Right now on E bay, there are 156,788 listings for Beanie Babies. There are no bids for the vast majority of them, but 15-20 years ago, toy collectors were clamoring for these mass produced little Chinese made items. The market for worthless cardboard mass produced baseball cards is even worse. Hummel figurines anyone...???

Any company in China could replicate these, or a lot of other things that collectors demanded. But no one will be able to produce quality doubleguns for the kind of prices we are able to buy them. The time to buy is when there is panic in a market, and blood in the streets. We might not be seeing the bottom of double gun prices quite yet, but it will come and go soon enough. Just look at the current prices for WWII surplus military crap that languished for a song in bargain racks and barrels in every gun shop and hardware store when you were kids. Go buy me a $25.00 Krag or 95 Mauser today. What are the total production numbers on those compared to L.C. Smith, Parker, or Lefever shotguns?


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
