However it seems as if time passing by and my separation anxiety coalesce and turn my handguns into a collectible status from what should by all rights have been obscurity.
This may also be enhanced by the fact that I'm attracted to stuff nobody wants When I got my Colt Gold Cup Delta Elite 10mm the PO was having a hard time getting rid of it, ditto my Ruger KBN-455x and so many others. Then discovering this newfound status, it makes my separation anxiety even worse!
I've found on more than one ocsasion that if I offer a good price on a firearm to someone, I'm insulted by the jerk offering me 1960's prices! Really! I once offered a nickle S&W 19-4 Combat magnum to a younger guy for $300 and he tried to get it for $200 because it did not have a box! Jeez, the original "Coke Bottle" grips were almost worth the price of the whole gun!
Any old timers here have stuff that was silly inexpensive by today's standards who will just let their heirs sort it out?
