Guns are an investment. For when you need money, they can be sold, or traded for goods and services. There's few things i'm sentimentally attached to, to not sell if the $$ was needed. Did it for the move, would do it again, if needed.

Well then I'm horrible with finances. I can count on one hand how many times I've turned a profit on something I sold. And most of those positive gains can be directly correlated to a guy named Bill Clinton. My big win was an HK91 that I bought for $1300 in 1992. Enjoyed it until 1994 when somebody found out I had it and offered me $3500 for it.Quote:

He broke it down based on simple compounding interest and if you put the same money in the stock market. Changed the way I look at gun values. Didn't change the way I talk to the wife about gun values. I've had a few money making guns, but most lost a few bucks. Now that I have to pay a transfer fee and BG check, hardly ever an up side.Quote:

Last big sale was fs2000 standard. Gees I sold it for 3050 shipped around 2013. Funded scar 16s and kept some $$.
I speculate the next firearm that can spike in price would be arx100.
