Welcome! But is there a reason you are practically giving them away? Just saying... it might be less hassle and might even get a little more for them over your asking prices from a pawn shop.I am from Tualatin and I have 3 weapons that I'm trying to sell per a legal agreement. I'm trying this avenue out before I go to a pawn shop. Hope to give one of these a good home. Cheers.
THOSE guns were money down the drain at the initial purchase. Drawing from that a generality toward all guns is best defined as a quantum leap of logic.Further proof that guns are not a good investment.
I dunno about that. "Generally" speaking.... the vast majority of firearms are ill suited for any investment purposes. Only in rare instances will they appreciate in value at a rate that will exceed cost of living increases.THOSE guns were money down the drain at the initial purchase.

But then again, I sure appreciate the number of people who think that way.
To discourage you from that train of thought would be self-defeating.I dunno about that. "Generally" speaking.... the vast majority of firearms are ill suited for any investment purposes. Only in rare instances will they appreciate in value at a rate that will exceed cost of living increases.
That's not a quantum leap of logic... but factual. It's interesting to read that so many seem to consider it "breaking even" if they sell a firearm for what they originally paid for it. Sure... buying a $500 gun and getting $500 back out of it 3 or 5 years down the road is pretty decent. They retain value very well, but many don't seem to consider that the buying power of that $500 has declined over the few years that they've owned it.
Factually... selling it for what you paid for it... you're losing money.
Buying rare collectibles are a different story, but the initial cash outlay is pretty steep and that class of firearm isn't what your average person is purchasing... or even likely to be able to afford.
To me... the quantum leap of logic is that the general rule of thumb is invalid simply because some exceptions do exist.
Just sayin....
Now you're talking! I was beginning to worry a little bit about you.To discourage you from that train of thought would be self-defeating.
Whatever the endeavor, it's all about eliminating the competition.You don't want to do this. The deer is all stinky and the meat is yucky. (At least that's what I always tell everybody. Keeps the woods less crowded.)
C'mon man. Compared to the bath my investment portfolio has taken under Bidenomics, selling those investments for what they were worth three years ago would be a major coup. Don't I wish.Factually... selling it for what you paid for it... you're losing money.
I fully agree. Economic principles are based on facts and don't change by wishful thinking or alternate reality interpretations.To discourage you from that train of thought would be self-defeating.
My respect for your point of view (admittedly with some self-interest expressed) is returned with assignment of fantasy and reality departure toward mine.I fully agree. Economic principles are based on facts and don't change by wishful thinking or alternate reality interpretations.
