I have never seen the prices of guns go down. They have gone up for the last 45 years as far as I can see. If you lost money on guns then you are buying the wrong kind of guns. Or, they aren't original enough that people will buy them. Or, they are just a cheap piece of junk. I have never lost money on a Model 12 or 21, Python, (or Colt of any kind), Superposed, S&W or Ruger or any gun I invested in. And I don't ever expect to lose money on them. Guns have never done anything but increase in value. So, if you lost money on a gun over the years, you really did something wrong. Or you are one who laughed at the other ones when they invested in those "butt ugly guns". So, now who's having the last laugh?
