Estate auction review

Talking about gun price makes us feel like a businessman, not a collector. If in this field for a few years, it's almost inevitable playing both the buyer and seller's role. As a buyer, a collector has a disadvantage: say you go to a gun show, see a great item bearing high price, through fruitless bargain, no agreement is reached. How many times you feel very happy on this result... say I save some dollar and avoid a big ticket item. Here is one way to play: don't buy easily. Stay back. If you forget the item in a couple of weeks, you don't need it. If you still think about it everyday, burn time and gas trying to find another instance, probably one day you will think "what's the hell worth so much effort?" -- then, you need that item, buy it.

BTW, I read so many times saying wives were mad on guns. Put everything aside, if acquiring one, losing $$, acquiring another one, losing $$, acquiring yet another one, the trend does not stop.... even if wives did not say anything, can this sustain?
