Purchasing guns for investment purposes can certainly be done. However, it is not a venture that can be done in volume. In other words, while high returns are achievable, high turn over is not.
I have been partaking in this venture on occasion over the past few years and have purchased multiple guns in the $1-3k range that have returned 40-60% in less than a year. In fact, I recently purchased a gun for $3200 and was offered $4000 from another buyer before it had even left the seller premisis....(the gun is worth well in in excess of $5k, so no, I did not take the money).
The moral of the story is...if you are very good, you can support a portion of your hobby, however, it will never be something that will generate a substantial income.
