So I"m assuming you sold your rifle ? And if so, I'm guessing you didn't sell it for pre-2017 prices---- rather you sold at April's market value ?
Just an assumption I"m making...........
It's a two way street you see.

Yeah, ignore everything I said and cherrypick the point you're trying to make that is unrelated to the main point of my postings. For the record, I didn't sell it, mostly because I couldn't find a replacement at a reasonable price and didn't want to be without. The spring 2021 show being inflated is somewhat understandable, that doesn't change the past decade of declining show quality. Nor does it excuse the fact that at least a third of the tables were all chinesium potmetal ARs being sold for unreasonable prices. At least it saved me some time, when I looked at a table and saw the same rifle three times in a row I knew I could just keep walking. The only table that really caught my eye in the whole show was a guy doing an estate sale, and he wanted $3k for a used 106f which were going for ~$2.5k NIB on gunjoker. Don't pretend like I'm saying I expect prices to go back to pre-2008 levels. I just want to go to a show where things are priced within 10% of what they are going for online so I can justify spending a bit more to support a local and not deal with shipping. If the gun costs a grand at your table and is going for 900 online, I'll buy yours. If it costs $1400 at your table and is 900 online I'm going to laugh while I walk away. Same for ammo. I'll pay a few cpr more but I'm not shelling out an extra dime to a quarter per bullet. I'll wait for it to ship. In the modern age, Gunbroker has more variety and similar prices to the shows. It just isn't worth my time anymore, and I honestly don't know how these shows keep happening. All my buddies agree. Modern shows are just an excuse to meet up and shoot the breeze in person while getting your steps for the day.
Used to go to the “Dog Trade” down in Sulphur. Not sure if it’s still around or not, and not sure I’d trust people or what they’re selling these days.
Here, or on armslist. We had www.tulsagunsales.com but, it went belly up.
Unless it was deposited recently, it's not likely worth saving anyway.
However... it would prudent to check the serial# with authorities. I'm guessing more murder/robbery weapons are thrown into lakes/rivers than are accidently lost by good ol' boys in boating accidents.
Just my 2¢ ...

I agree in a sense. But I will still go to Wannamachers just for the fun of it. But the little ones aren't worth going to unless I am searching for something special and willing to pay a mark up for it
Pawn shops can be a good place to find guns that are out of production. I picked up a SIG P250 9mm subcompact I saw on Armslist that was for sale by a local pawn shop. I drove over to the shop, checked out the pistol, and bought it at a very fair price, IMHO.
