Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sold a gun, I wish I hadn't

I've sold a lot of my guns over the last 30 years mainly to pay bills or to fund a new build. I regret ever selling all of them. I had some handguns that have collector value now...except I am no longer the collector/owner of said firearms. Five years ago I decided I would never again sell one of my guns. Thus far, other than unloading a Gary Reeder big bore single action revolver that was a travesty, I have not sold a another firearm. I have, however, managed to begin building my collection again. I just have to save the $$$ over the long haul, rather than selling one of my guns, to purchase the firearm I want. I'm a bit impatient, so it's always a struggle to not sell one of my guns at an average 20% to 30% loss to get the funds to purchase the newest firearm I fancy.
