how markets vote

[Grizz]

this is from the current GunsInternational inventory list.

two standouts, the 9mm pistol category, and the 45 ACP category. even though the 45 is a distant second place, it is still a larger number than any other on that page, including 357 mag.

this can be read two ways, as i see it. either the 9mm category is not a great place to be trying to sell into that glut, OR, that category has an endless supply of customers. funny thing is, the apparent market size is not reducing prices much, if any.
.
i mostly browse Rugers as the value point. but collectors can drive prices out of my range in a heartbeat, and almost every gun on that page suggests or states that it is rare and collectible.
.
perhaps the local tulip mania got me thinking along these lines . . .
