I would say the best thing to do is to sell the guns one doesn't need and spend the money on themselves.

I have a bit of an idea to reward our friends and protect our spouses from being cheated out of the true value of our guns and paraphernalia. Build a computer file or a card file of individual items you wish to dispose of after your death. Pair up each item with a friend who would be interested in that item. Price each item at about 60% of its true value and don't include any tire kickers on your list. Don't overestimate the value of any of your stuff on the list. Have your wife invite all of the people on your list to your house on a nice spring day. Serve food and drink. Your friends should step up to the plate, and your wife will probably get more than she would if she consigned them to a dealer or an auction. If some idiot chooses to refuse the offer, the other guys are there to take up the slack. Your widow may even score a new husband. I would be very happy to sell my stuff at 60% if I could do it in one day. Your thoughts??

you'd need younger friends

This statement is pretty dumb. I buy guns because I enjoy them, and when I do it, I am spending money on myself. Ta-da!

It's not our fault that "Hope and Change" left you stretched so thin that you are constantly reduced to drooling on the counters of gun shops and endlessly tire-kicking.

Jagermeister's Gun Buying Fantasy

Even more pathetic is being reduced to putting relatively inexpensive guns on Layaway, coming here to brag about your latest acquisition, and then reneging on the deal because you can't afford it.



I'll bet you're the only guy who posts here that doesn't own even one double barreled gun. Do they have a forum for guys who put guns on Layaway and rent cheap Chinese .22 rimfire rifles? I'd suggest we take up a collection for you, but you'd probably give the money to one of your favored anti-gun Liberal left Democrats.

I will be your friend.

Osthaus, I not only would need younger friends, I would need more friends. I plan to get them here and on other friendly chat rooms. Geography is a bit of a problem, but it would be addressed when making the "list'.

And then she gets to do this garden party all over again someday.

Eightbore, while I might be in for the guns I have found wives to be a far more expensive collection to acquire. Worse no amount of refinishing will put them into high condition shape past a certain vintage.

Bill,

Are you going to make it to the Southern? I have "something else" I need to dispose of.

Vintage wives doesn't sound too good. How about a bespoke wife? Made exactly to order. Wouldn't that be nice?
