I hear that. I've lost money on nearly every transaction I've done. Usually overpay for something I REALLY want, take it to the range and try carrying it for a month and decide it is less than a perfect fit for me, then see something posted that I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE and sell my overpriced item for 30% less than I paid for it (throwing in ammo I bought for it and no longer need), then pay well over blue book value for the gun I think is PERFECT.

Shit, since I moved to Denver 5 years ago, if I kept track of all the money I lost on gun deals it would probably be enough to buy a really nice used car. However, my small gun collection is absolutely PERFECT. I'm never selling any of them unless I'm out of work again. The last two times I lost my job (due to company folding) selling off my gun collection was a welcome supplement to the measly unemployment benefits you get.
