Let’s see… several Ruger number 1a 7x57’s and .243’s Marlin 336, 35 Remington Remington model 700 guide gun 7 mm 08 Tang safety Ruger ultralight’s in. 270 Tang safety RSI Ruger. 308 Winchester 32 special Marlin Lever action 44 mag Tikka T3 6.5 X 55
But the one I really like to have back is my New England firearms 22 hornet. I got it as a Christmas gift at eight years old, 12 years later had a falling out with my father who decided to give that one away to a cousin. Said cousin says he still has it but will not relinquish.
So if any of you kind folks want to sell back some of those guns listed above, I am All ears!
When did you sell the Tikka 6.5x55 approximately? I bought mine used but don't remember through which channels (but know it wasn't face to face). Unfortunately, it's one of my favorites so it's not going anywhere.

Older Remington BDL 30-06, (maybe 1967?) that was a real beauty. Got it on GunBroker for like $425, some pawn shop didn’t realize what they had I guess.
I’m a recoil pansy so I sold it for roughly $575. Maybe a few months later I saw it resell for like $800.

I just remembered the “one”. I sold it to a member here. A Ruger No. 1 stainless 7.62x39.

I've shot it a decent amount but only shot one antelope with it but decided recently it's going hunting next year here in WY.

I bought a heavily customized #3 45-70 at a local show once. Took it hunting on a 10 day out of town trip. Before going I listen it on GunBroker to establish a value, for double what I paid. Killed a very nice buck, but, when I got back saw that it had actually sold. I contacted the buyer and explained to him that I didn't intend to sell it but that I would honor the auction. Gentleman was in his late 70s and we made an agreement that he would put a letter in his gun safe stating the rifle was to be sold back me for the original full amount. A decade later I saw the gun for sale, again on GunBroker. I contacted the seller who happened to be a dealer working on behalf of the estate who put me into contact with the family attorney. When I asked about the letter he said he absolutely knew what I was referring to a that he read it and disposed of it. That it had no legal binding power regardless of the old man's wishes. That I could bid on it if I wanted it. I bought the rifle for $600 and it did sell on GunBroker at $1900.
I'm betting that if that old fellow had written a letter claiming that you owed him money, that lawyer would have said that it was "legally binding". I don't trust a damn lawyer any further than I can throw them.

My first shotgun, sold to upgrade to something better; Ithaca 20 gauge model 66 Super Single. Two in particular when I was in my late teens: S&W model 36 snubbie in mint condition, sold "because it wasn't accurate". Correction; *I* wasn't accurate. 12 gauge Remington 1100 Mag, sold "because it wouldn't cycle field loads and didn't have screw in chokes". In my early 20's, and this one still hurts; pre-safety Marlin 336T "Texan", sold because "now that I live where we can't use rifles for deer, this stereo equipment will be much more useful". Now that I'm older and more mature <cough, cough> I don't sell a gun unless it's something that I specifically dislike or at least is particularly non-special and highly unlikely to be of much value or use to me in the future.

when I was in my early 20s I sold a sporterised Springfield Model 1903A3 it was nice shot like a house on fire. It had a fixed 4x that adjusted from the mount with friction with a dot reticle, The sad part was I let it get away twice, 8yrs later it was in the same pawn shop I sold it at, and I bought it again, then needed money so I sold it again. I sold it twice, thats really the only one I really think about all the time, man would it shoot!!!

I can count the guns I sold on one hand and don't regret any of them.
An SKS, a crappy shooting Taurus PT100 40S&W, a Russian Mak in .380. Thats it.
My sons get my collection when I pass, so I'm sorta buying stuff in two's now. 2 Marlin 94's in 44 mag. 2 Ruger 44 mag Carbines 2 Colt LE6920s 2 Colt 1903 etc etc.

The gun I shot my first deer with - a Remington 700 ADL in 270. Got it for my Christmas/eleventh birthday but being a looney with no money and not very bright had to trade it for “better” - several hundred hunting rifles later I realize it was all I ever needed (as I said not too bright) but did learn not to part with any so now I keep them all🥴.

M77 in 7x57. Got a nice deal here on the fire and stupidly sold it assuming I'd find another in the same price range. I didn't/haven't and almost certainly won't. 😔 My own dumb fault.

No regrets selling any guns other then losing money a couple times. The good ones even can be sold at the right price. They all can be replaced
