The only way I could afford firearms was by selling one to buy another. For about 10 years I did this and only could gather 2-3 at a time.
If I wanted another one or a different one I had to sell one. It really sucked and I had some I let go that I regret. The last 6-7 years I've spent buying and planning on not selling. Only collecting.
To a fault almost.
Went a little crazy at times buying more than I should have.
But I always saw it as an investment.
Just like any investment there are gains and losses.
Selling stuff is mostly a loss but I can always get money out of them in an emergency.
If I had paid for vacations, or other stuff that money would just be gone.
