As I've gotten older I've started simplifying and consolidating so having a bunch "cool" stuff that never gets used has lost its luster. Especially if I can sell it off to someone who would enjoy/use it more than me. |

Is anyone really seeing their collection sky rocket in value?
Again, outside of ammo and select AR parts my guess is you could still go out and buy a glock 19 or a Sig 226 for about MSRP I see WASR's on the EE going for 1K+ but frankly that was happening prior to our current situation. |

Quoted: I'm highly debating on doing an investment video series over it. Remember those Federal Black packs that Dicks/Cabellas/BassPro/Academy had in 2018 for $45 with a $20 MIR for 1600 rounds per case (That's 1.5625 cents each). Remember how everyone bought truckloads of them at that price? Now those cases are selling for upwards of $500/each at auction. That's a $475 net income per case. So , now all these firearms & ammo that I've been buying during the salad days is selling for 3, 4, 5 , 10 times what I paid. Not that I TRUST what's going on with politics, however I'm hard pressed to come up with ideas/methods that the government could institute laws easily that would increase prices FAR beyond where they were 2 years ago. Like most of you, I remember my dad taking me to the gun store, gun shows ,etc all through the 1990s, I remember going to a horse riding arena outside Columbus that was stacked with AKs for $179 and SKSes for $89. I remember then my dad buying a single case of 7.62x39 for $500 in late 1994/early 1995 after the AWB was passed, then paying $100/ea for magazines for his POS S&W 40f. I very vividly remember those prices, then generally how they crept down between 1995 and 2000 as the market leveled off. Generally I have the same feeling I did after Sandy Hook : That the sales panic prices are temporary, and I might as well make hay (Meaning selling whitebox 9mm for $1.50 a round) while the sun is shining. Just sell in person so you have control over who you are selling to... |

I've sold off all my big stuff.
Compact/Subcompact pistols. .22 rifles and home defense shotguns will be the way of the 2020's. Mark my words. Everything else will be a legal and financial burden. Sad, so sad. |

Guess that depends. I’ve sold off almost everything already. Anyone know what a used KSG with no box is worth? (This is not a sales post.) I bought this thing on a whim used for a local guy with no box because I wanted to try it. I cleaned it but never shot it and don’t think I ever will.
In that instance, I don’t see any point in keeping it. If that is what you mean OP, I’d agree. If it has any sentimental value or you plan on actually using it ... doubt I’d sell. |

Large part? Nope.
The ammo that didn't shoot worth a shit in the one gun chambered in that caliber that's been sitting in a can for 12+ years? Hell yes. For whatever reason American Eagle 5.7x28mm isn't worth a damn from a Gen1 PS90. |

Yea there was a thread a week ago where some schmuck took an MP-15 sport, threw on the most cheap plastic possible (fake bipod/foregrip, flip to side magnifier, and aimpoint knock off) and it went for close to 2 Grand Although I think that was a bit of an outlier. Outside of peddling tapco-fucked AR's I'm not really seeing the market hit a point where I'd consider selling my guns. Even if I could get $800 a glock, that's not enough of an incentive for me to sell. The .22Lr I bought for a couple cents a round though lol

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe I'm wired differently, when complete kits ran $350/ea , 9mm was <15c/rd and 22lr was near a penny a round, knowing the history of gun/ammo prices and how they tend to explode at the drop of a hat (Pun intended) it always seemed reasonable to me to have as large of a collection as I could afford.

I'm getting older and don't want to leave the burden of selling my junk to my wife. My best friend died of 9/11 cancer three years ago. Had to help his sister sell some of his stuff to pay bills. I think she still has five of his cars sitting in a lot somewhere and paying for two storage rooms filled with random car parts, tools, and shit like that.
