I understand Lloyd. But I still think that if the price is right, it could be an inflation hedge that you can shoot. I can't think of any guns I regret buying... but there are a number of guns I sincerely regret not buying.
As for the "You can't save them all" remark, I do try to avoid adding to the project list. But at a Gun Show last weekend, I saw a Baker Batavia Special 16 gauge with 28" barrels in pretty nice shape... except for the missing buttstock. I kept telling myself I didn't need another project. So just before I left, I went back to the table and asked the seller his best price. He looked at it and said, "How about $100.00?" Knowing that the barrels alone would sell for that much on Ebay, I took it home. I blame the seller. He shouldn't have tempted me!
