Collectibles are out of my league...

Saw a real nice Postal Service Speed Six on GB.

Just didn't feel like jumping. Probably could have gone over a grand pretty quickly.

Isn't it nice that some people have enough money to spend three or
more times the original price for a gun. Seems the new economy is
doing very well. :roll:

Do keep in mind that I'm referring to standard production guns, less
than fifty years old. :D

That's way beyond my meager means too. I'm still looking for a decent, shooter quality, one that I can afford. I sure do like these guns.

Some, like Colt Python's, and 60's Comaro's are ridiculously over priced. Especially if you think the handle of a Python is ugly and the double action trigger pull second rate compared to a Smith & Wesson Model 27.

How about $250,000 for a common '66 Shelby GT350? I bought mine in 1975 for $140 and a 1968 Tbird a guy gave me for changing the waterpump on his '62 Bird. I sold it apart but partialy restored for $20,000 should have held out longer. By changing my gun focus I've got just as many and about $10,000 in my pocket. Sold off my S&Ws and M1s and switched to No1s and homemade ARs.

I bought a 1957 Chevy sans engine for $20. Traded it to a friend, who had dropped out of nursing for his high dollar "spark free shoes" that I needed for my operating room rotation.
gramps, who doesn't have the skills to rebuild anything.

...gramps, who doesn't have the skills to rebuild anything.

Gramps, how many people have you helped "rebuild" I'd say you have some GOOD rebuilding skills.
