I am afraid that the value of formerly collectible handguns is going down. Hear me out.

[QUOTE="ParrotPirate, post: 4250390, member: 51087"] I’m not really concerned about reselling guns, but I don’t want to overpay and never be able to get my money back if I need it. That’s a strategy I employ with all my collecting. I have a rubric I follow when it comes to collecting anything and “practicality” is a major multiplier. I think that any historic collectible you can hypothetically still use will have more value than one that you can’t. I witnessed this firsthand with my Zippo lighter collection. When everyone smoked it was always developing but when people quit smoking they just became little baubles and prices froze or dropped. Despite that, Zippo still sells $200 lighters to Japanese and Chinese all day cause they still smoke. [/QUOTE]
