Often....I liquidated about 66% of my collection and kept only what I shot often. Haven't missed a single one I've sold.

No reason not to. i recently sold a USP compact ,40 because it just sat in the safe. Ended up replaceing it with a Para Ordnance Warthog, which by the way is a super nice gun. Kinda sucked i had to replace the mag springs right off but its reliable now and runs like a top. Oh its also the most comfortable CCW piece i have ever carried.

I don’t have any.
What I have I shoot. It may be months in between times I would use one, but sooner or later they get shooting. |

yup, I've been selling them off to fund my Jeep build. Thus far I've sold an HK tactical, a USP, AR10, 2 AR 15s and a glock 36.
ETA: also sold off my IMI Uzi. I've currently got 2 CavArms SEBR lowers and a RRA fluted bbl 16" flat top for sale in the EE. I don't miss them. I've been shooting less and less often. |

I sell it if I don't use it. I'm not really much of a collector.

Absolutely. I don't collect 'em, I shot 'em. If you don't shoot 'em, you have to dust' em.

I'm basically down to three firearms I shoot, plus one more intended purchase. Glock 19 Kimber 1911 + .22lr slide conversion AR-15 Planned AR-15A4 build. That's about it. |

I pretty much shoot everything I own. Not every time I go to the range of course, but I dont think I own anything that doesnt get shot at least a few times a year...and I keep ammo for all of my prized possessions!

Nope. I have rifles I bought five years ago I have never shot.
Several of them, as a matter of fact. I have some I would sell if someone asked, but none that I would seek a buyer for. They don't eat much, and I may want them some day. Larry |

Before I sell a gun, it has to be:
1. Not a family heirloom 2. Something I regret purchasing due to crappiness Examples: I don't shoot my S&W M25 much, but it's too much of a gem to part with. I recently traded a FEG hi-power and a CZ50 towards a Glock 19. I have a Chinese Ithaca clone looking for a buyer, and... don't mock me... a Jennings .22 waiting for a gun buy-back.

I have had a slight thought scratch my brain to sell off some to get a full auto. Then I wake up, dry off the sweat, and go back to bed.

Never... I don't sell the cars I don't drive either. Who knows what they'll be worth in the future. Guns rarely depreciate.

Im planning on selling two rifles and one handgun at the next gunshow, since I dont use them and they are not family heirlooms.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!  I'd never sell a gun to a buy back program. None of my guns are heirlooms either. I bought them all myself. |

I've done it before and I'll do it again... At first I hated the idea of "dwindling my numbers" but the more I thought about it and th tighter space got to keep them I started to think in a little more of a practical way. I get what I "need" or at least think I'll use.
So far I traded off an SAR-8 for an AR. Then I sold a Remington 700PSS. Now I'm trying to sell the AR I got in trade. I think I'll probably consider trading or selling my Ruger P89 as well. Hardly ever shoot it. I'll use that to get a Walther P22. |

Sell one, buy two. If you bought the first one right you covered the cost of the next two!

... Yes, I'm "standardizing" my collection right now (See EE). No more safe queens, no antiques, collectibles or CCR. No whiz-bang calibers, gone are the useless huge, puny or wildcat calibers
... Going lean - a couple each basic battlerifles, pistols, revolvers, sub-gun, M4forgeries, shotties ... My goal is to have only these calibers: 22LR, 5.56mm, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39, 45ACP, 9mm, 44mag (for rifle & revolver), .338 Luapa, 50BMG, 454Casull/45LC and 12 gauge ... Life is simpler that way |

Yea, I'm dreading the day that I may be forced to sell some of my collection to get a new business up and running. $40k would be a nice shot in the arm to help make payroll for a few weeks though. Tough decision between selling or a home equity loan.

I did and my gun safe much happier, I got rid fo wierd calibers, stuff I don't use and cheap ass weapons. I still have more than I will ever need or could use.
Would rather have a decked out AR-15 than an AR-15 plain jane plus a bunch of single shot , bolt action , cheap crappy weapons. |
