Collector vs. Shooter

alvin · 02-23-2016, 06:16 AM

Starting from collector, going shooter, that's super easy. Just control the price, that's it. Starting from shooter, going collector, that's a fresh start. If the path is shooter -> collector -> back to shooter -> back to collector?? Then, collector phase II should play at relatively higher level than phase I. Hopefully.

Never mind. Concept mixed. Collector could refer to a gun and to a person playing guns. Same for shooter. In this context, it's the latter.

I believe that all the opinions posted above have merit however, I also think that Ed's hit the nail on the head perfectly, especially the last sentence in his post " But, in my opinion, it depends on the collector". Exactly the way I feel.

I agree. I am a collector who values the history evident on the pistol (i.e., evidence of what happened to the gun after it left the factory). I consider many old warhorses to be "collectible." However, I am very much in the minority.

Don,
You are in a minority of at least two!
