[QUOTE=Edward Tinker;322219]I have to admit that over the years I have bought and sold a lot of items, and my main discovery is that if its been a few years, I can always make some money. Perhaps not a profit and I might lose money, but I bring some in... UNQUOTE
I did it too, until around a couple of years ago.
[QUOTE=Edward Tinker;322219]I don't belong to the 'all the old collectors are dying off and we're screwed cuz the new folks buy glocks' mindset, as I simply think new collectors come along who are interested in what we like. As an example, the doom and gloom over Colt Single Actions happened when I was a kid, and the end of collecting them hasn't happened. But a close friend has antique clocks and another other collectibles and its harder to sell than it used to be. Folks blame the internet, and its true, lots of items out there, and easier to find and compare... UNQUOTE
Younger generations don't have much money, and a serious collection demands quite a bit of it.
Many of the "old-timers", and I surely include myself in the number is in their 60's / 70's and more, and I don't see, at least not here, many youngish people interested in vintage firearms.
