After acquiring Julia Auction, hopefully, Morphy Auction could compete with RIAC on fees and on item qualities.
But collectors are both suppliers and consumers of C&R items, auctioneers are just middle men. If collectors could trade among themselves privately, that is very efficient and does save a lot of fees. Auction service is used only when necessary.
I heard "baby boomers" are retiring at the rate of 10,000 persons per day. I expect more guns will show up on the market over next few years.
