I'm 'bout like Fat Boy. I attend local gun shows to see what's collectible. I prefer no longer made Colts and Smiths and can usually find same in the condition I require at a price that's fair. I deal almost exclusively with 1 or 3 dealers who are familiar with my tastes and they ususally say something like "I've been waiting for you to come along so I could show you something". That something is an example for which they know I am searching, and because of my history of doing business with them I am usually offered a slightly better price than the one being asked.
As far as carry type guns, local brick and mortar establishments are preferred.
