Personally, I don't understand why many people only buy guns, and don't sell any. I agree that it's hard to make money from frequent buy and sale (unless bought it undervalue). Don't know other people's situation, not make money from this type of trading is OK with me. I am not living on this. Through buy and sell, buy and sell, buy and sell, ...., buy and sell, more C&R will pass though my hands, I can touch more guns. Of course, some guns are keepers forever, ,,, , if you only buy keepers, then, different story. But if you only buy keepers,,,, how do you know which one is keeper initially... What collectors initially buy were almost invariably from reputable C&R dealers, I acquired one from Simpson and one from FGS in the past, I believed they were keepers, at least initially I thought so, but later found there are better ones, either from price, or from condition, or from completeness point of view... they were excellent pieces, but all resold. Having said that, however, I noticed there is a "balance" point in this, after that, it becomes harder and harder.
