[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 1708251, member: 49669"] It would really be interesting to know the median age of the readers here. I grew up in the late 50s'-early 60s' and spent more time than I should have in a local gun shop owned by the family of 2 boys I went to school and hunted with. I wouldn't trade those days for anything in this world. I bought and sold a couple hundred guns between 1966 and now, some of which I still shed a tear over when they come to mind. Some of the rest of this is my opinion. Some is based on 60 years of experience.The value of a gun, or anything else in this world, is what somebody else is willing to pay you for it, period. To think otherwise is delusional. I didn't buy and sell to make money. I did it because I love the darned things. I'd buy a gun because I wanted it and would sell it because I wanted another one more. The "market" is shrinking dramatically. This is a fact I think we all have to face. The is very little money to be made in the legal gun market outside of the "highly collectible" segment. [/QUOTE]
