I had one of my surplus handguns for sale on consignment at the FFL I deal with. He called yesterday to tell me he had sold the gun and he had money for me. Today, I drove up to the shop. After I picked up my money, I was looking at their offerings. I have a few semi auto rifles that I may yet sell. I noticed that the AR rack in the shop was pretty full, maybe 12 to 15 of them. I think they all had the telescoping adjustable stocks, none had the A1 or A2 stock. So I asked, "How are the AR's selling these days?" The lady told me, "Nobody is buying them." Then I asked, "How about an M1A?" She then said, "That we can sell tomorrow, we have people we can call who want one."
Now that everyone and his brother has loaded up on about all the AR's they can digest, the market is saturated. Or so it would seem from this example. Maybe if Wash. passes an assault weapon ban, there will be a big rush on them to beat a deadline.
In general, the sale of used guns in this shop seems to have slowed way down. During the Covid panic 2021, their handgun cases were pretty scant. Now, they are pretty filled up again.
