You can also imagine this: "In 2066, my grandson inherited this gun and took it straight to the pawn shop and traded it for the latest Xbox".
It happens more often than you think, and I have made several good purchases that way. A veteran or gun collector passes away, and the family sells the guns to buy a new dishwasher, go on a Florida vacation or do whatever they think is more interesting than looking at an old gun. It won't be an investment, unless you educate those that may take over the collection one day.
