Re: Quantity or quality?
Quantity > quality, but there is a floor too. I don't need fancy, but reliability is a must

Re: Quantity or quality?
I've never sold a gun, I really have no intent to sell any unless something major would happen. I mainly do it to collect as well, I figure I'll get to pass along some really sweet stuff to my daughter. Hopefully she will be into guns and keeps them, if not she can enjoy selling off my collection.

Re: Quantity or quality?
I think it's important to have 1-2 high quality rifles, and 8-10 that are good enough. I don't think DD is 5x better than PSA, despite the price being 5x higher. Just like I don't think eotech is 2x better than holosun, despite the price. But a gucci gun is nice to have if you can afford it, otherwise middle of the road will more than likely be fine.
However, the best guns are worthless if you have shit ammo or no ammo at all.iAnal

Re: Quantity or quality?
My vehicles get me from A to B and some are moderately decent looking.
My guns go bang.
I'm not investing much of my after-tax income on name brand stuff.
I could sell a few of my guns, but I don't think the income now offsets the probable value later.
The future looks ugly to me:

Re: Quantity or quality?
I've probably seen him at a cartridge show, since the shows are so small.
Rare cartridges can sell for thousands. I don't think I have anything worth $500 but I have a handful of things in the $100-$300 range.
I have one small curio cabinet with my collection packed into it. If I had more room, I would love to spread it out and label everything, but I'm out of space for now.In America arms are free merchandise such that anyone who has the capital may make their houses into armories and their gardens into parks of artillery. - Ira Allen, 1796

Re: Quantity or quality?
I like well made firearms and I would have loved to have had few of the higher quality ones but never had the money to get one (married, 2 kids, in the USAF for 26 yrs). But I collect Rugers (and show them at different guns shows that Ruger collectors get invited to) and I am quite happy with what I have. I do have 15 handguns and rifles that are not Rugers (vs 150+ Rugers) and some are pretty nice (SIG P229 in .40 S&W, SIG 1911 Scorpion, M1 Garand, M1A Springfield Armory) but am now at the age that I take a REALLY hard look to determine if I am going to buy anything that won't really fit into my collection. I tell my kids that my collection is their inheritance

Re: Quantity or quality?
Seen a video of a guy shooting a Wison Combat 45. Thousands of dollar gun. 5 shots hit 5 plates.
Stock Glock 45. 5-600 dollar gun. 5 shots hit 5 plates. Granted the 1911 will probably shoot a little tighter but
1 Wilson or 5 Glocks?
