Luger Inflation?

Mac Cat · 12-27-2022, 03:11 PM

I didn't buy any of my guns as an investment.
It's a hobby and a lifelong curiosity that motivates my small collection.
But, my feeling is that most guns are not good investments.

The ones that are, I think, are way out of my price range.
However, I don't think they lose value as fast as other collectables like cars.

The stock market is where I do my investing.

But, I think sdmark777 is right - my guns are for my own enjoyment and possibly an heir.

I think that inflation has gone up faster than most gun values, particularly in the last 10 years.

I'm anxious to get back to some local gun shows and/or trade with another collector.
I really prefer a dealing with a collector who can share knowledge and provenance when I buy a gun.
