Will you get $7,500 worth of value minus what you can sell it for? That value is what I consider gun pleasure rent. If so go for it.

Moreover you must consider the possibility of losing most if not all you have in a gun purchase and you are left with scrap value alone. If you loss tolerance is high then go for it. If like most it is not, then look somewhere else there are many $7,500 guns without issues


Well said. Familiar with the concept of "the greater fool"?
