Guys,

Although after my rant the other day, this may come as
a bit of a joke but I can't see this going anywhere.

When it comes to pricing of DR's, ESPECIALLY OLDER English or Vintage DR's,

- everyone who wants one says they are too expessive
and as a result, never get into the market, at the same time pricing increases on a yearly basis.
- most of the buyers don't get into one as they are afraid of making a mistake !
- every buyer reckons the seller is asking too much / over the top.
- buyers always try to talk down te price of DR's - and then reaise when they become a seller what they have done !
- inexperienced buyers pick the shit out of guns other people are selling when they have no intention of buying it
and this can work both ways !
- a lot of DR's are sold "off market" so never get advertised, a quiet phone call, quick email etc etc
- those buyers who "crunch" the sellers and get known for it don't get offered guns when they come on the market and so end up missing out of alot of good buys.
- buyers of high end doubles generally do not let in known that they are a buyer and in the market - tending to conduct the business "on the quiet !

And IMHO, if you think it's priced too high, then the DR that is for sale is not aimed at you so don't wory about it.

Just my HO for today !
