Default Confused

Hi Marvin,

The imports have opened my eyes to another world of collecting. Before I started participating in this Forum I felt that the imports were just cheap shooters and not worthy of collecting as a special variation. Although I do not want to collect or even own one, I see that others are interested in them. I personally do not feel that the value is going to increase much, but who knows? The thing that puzzles me on these imports, is the fact that a lot of you seem to think that they have collector value and are a specific variation, but then you talk about restoring or refinishing or changing stuff to make them different. This confuses me. I do not see how you can have it both ways, a collector variation and a shooter, and how you can say that you have a collector variation import, and then "enhance" it to change it's appearance. This just doesn't make any sense to me. Really confused on these imports and there value and collector grades. This is one reason I feel they will never have that much interest or value. Personally, I only want original finished guns in my collection, regardless of the variation, and I just can't see how changing the appearance of an original or an import does anything for them, other than de-value the piece and make it a pretty shooter. I know I'm in the minority on this, but we each collect in our own way. Good Luck!
