Doug, current gun market is pretty much a deadlock. Seller is unwilling to lower the asking price, and buyer is unwilling to pay more. As a collector, I play both buyer and seller. I could not lower my asking price either, because everyone else does not. Without selling, I don't have the $$ to buy (I mean ... that's in general theory, not really for this particular instance).
I have been looking for a FN 1905 in poor condition for long long time. I just need its sear spring because the spring on my gun was broken during shooting. There are many FN 1905 in the market, but it's so hard to find a cheap FN 1905. It's not an expensive pistol, very nice original one is for sell around $300. I suppose one in poor shape should be dirt cheap, right? No! no matter it's covered with rust, pits, or it's reblued gun, everyone asks $200-$250..... not including shipping.
Deadlock.
