That baseball would retire you a millionaire!I kind of agree that everything has its price. But, my Dad's .30-06 that he customized, my Granddad's Model 12 would likely be the last to go because nobody would pay me what they are worth to me. I have a baseball from the late 30s signed by both DiMaggios, Lefty Gomez, Tony Lazzeri, and a few others. Like the guns, nobody will give me what its worth to me. The rest of the guns, make me an offer. But, for now, I will more likely sell only to "trade up". If there is something I really want, I'll start at the bottom of the desirability list and work up.

That's the thing.If you can't buy ammo...why have the gun? These days it's like owning a car, but no gas stations.
I can't imagine being too attached to firearms when the rent is due, and millions are underwater on rents and mortgages.
When I owned a business I learned the difference between expense money and capital money. You NEVER spend capital money on expenses. That's like cutting off your hand so you'll have something to eat for lunch. Having to sell firearms in order to pay the rent means that whatever you're doing, career-wise/income-wise, it's not working. It solves the problem for 30 days, but then next month you have the same problem.If you can't buy ammo...why have the gun? These days it's like owning a car, but no gas stations.

And when you were in business did it make sense to keep any capital around that couldn't be serviced, fixed, moved, sold, or used? So keeping a gun around with no ammo equates to pretty much having a rental car business but no fuel to put in them.When I owned a business I learned the difference between expense money and capital money.

Aside from that, how does the fact that other people can't pay their rent or mortgages affect my financial decisions? I don't owe them anything.
There are no guns in my safe that I don't have at least a few hundred, if not thousand rounds for. When I was in business one facet of that business was a rental fleet. When, due to Jimmy Carter, fuel became "impossible" to buy I discovered that if I paid an extra 5¢ per gallon, and had it delivered at 3 am in an unmarked truck by a guy named Guido, I could get all the fuel I needed.And when you were in business did it make sense to keep any capital around that couldn't be serviced, fixed, moved, sold, or used?

You're not really into firearms that much then.....not sure why you would join a firearm forum if you don't find any "attachment" to them.........like owning a car but hating to drive........If you can't buy ammo...why have the gun? These days it's like owning a car, but no gas stations.
