Don't know others, but I feel gun related hobby needs "activities", either shooting, or buying, or selling (other collectors might also do reloading, gunsmithing, etc). It's hard to sit there reading book only without performing above mentioned activities. So, some guns that should not have come came to home, and some guns that should not have gone went away. In this busy mode, then I have lots of fun.
So far, I setup two rules for myself: (1) Don't sell pre-1899 antique firearms; (2) If it's a really very nice C&R, it should only be sold at its lover's price, no bargain.
