Anticipate a change in collectible firearms auctions?

I attended an auction before the lock down. Got a nice buy on a S&W .22 revolver. My friend got a few LC Smiths, but lamented hat the economy was bringing up prices. We had a recent conversation, and he thinks the collectible market might drop, but folks who will be buying are looking for defense firearms.
Any thoughts on that? I am seeing a lot of antiques listed on Gunbroker with salty beginning bid lists but no takers. Many Burnside and Maynard n there with nary a bite.

On the other hand, if your OK money and health wise? Might be able to score. Years ago I had a original Civil War Maynard, ( capping carbine ), it was a good design, and a lot of fun to shoot. One of the few successful Civil War designs, that were made as center fires as late as the 1880's.
