Thanks, and a good way to look at it.

I collected Japanese swords years ago, where the valuations are much more subjective. That's the advice I gave. Never buy anything you don't really value, in hope of turning it around for a quick profit.
Too many have bought a pig-in-a-poke in hope of having found a lost treasure. I think you did very well!

Yeah I know what you mean there. I come across a lot of people selling things that they think are a lost treasure. Not just guns either. I also as of late see a lot of used current production guns where the seller is asking $100-$300 more than what I can buy a new one for. And I’m not even talking hard to find guns, but really common things that dealers always have in stock.
