Guns are a lousy investment, IMHO, simply because it takes a lot of effort to sell them.
I inherited about 100 of them and decided to sell about 80 plus the ones I already had and would never shoot any more. To do that I had to go to a lot of gun shows. I averaged 10% less than Fjested's said was the "going" price. I later sold some to friends and a dealeer and got less than that. Selling themm is one at a time.
If you have a lot of stock, by contrast, one phone call gets all the proceeds put in your checking account the next day.
Besides, gun prices are fickle based on trends. In the late 1950s, 19th century guns could be picked up for a song. Then the westerns hit TV and gthe Civil War centennial happened. Prices went up. Now everyone wants "tacticool" junk. Harder tio fiind buyers for a Model 70.
