Re: How to know it's time to sell your guns
Twelve!!! Twelve????
A dozen?? That's all?????????
I'm too sentimental and most of mine are worthless anyway. They were carried by the likes of my great-grandfather, grandfather, father and uncles. (A grandmother and a few aunts as well).
They were used and used hard and the scratches and dings represent the needs they endured in the depression and before. I'll hand mine down or let the family ddeal with them at auction if my later generations don't want them. (or don't care for them).Engineers make things idiot proof! Evolution makes better idiots!

Re: How to know it's time to sell your guns
From reading this thread it seems everyone has too many guns but dont want to sell any due to remorse.
I should take a break from buying guns too after my last gun, a Ruger SR1911.

Re: How to know it's time to sell your guns
My 77 year old dad recently sold most or all of his shit (if you believe him, which is always a dicey proposition). He asked if I wanted to buy them. I said I don't have the money. So, as he tells it, he found someone in Dayton OH to buy his stuff. Given what he bought afterward, I suspect he cleared at least $10K. I later asked him how much of his stuff he sold, he said "all of it", which is probably not true. At any rate, he drove from Virginia to meet up with the guy. Probably did the deal in a parking lot, because he's that kind of dumbass. Drove home. Long damned drive.
Directly answering your question...I think the answer is when you realize that they are not going to do anything but sit there. In dad's case, he's too told to do much of anything anymore. Getting out of the house is a major chore. I think he should have sold his shit at least 10 years ago, if he wasn't going to give anything to his kids. And if he was, he should have done it a lot earlier too. In any case, I'm glad I don't have to deal with it after he's dead (or at least, not as much stuff). Now I wish he would sell the rest of the crap around his house and get it cleaned up in general, to avoid passing all that work on to me later. If he really sold most or all of his shit, he should also sell off his 3 gun safes, reloading shit, ammo hoard and whatever else he has in his basement shop.
As a side note, I doubt he got a good price for his stuff, selling it in a bulk lot like that, but he did get a lot of money at once (and promptly spent it) and with minimal effort. He has been lazy and dumb for as long as I have known him, so minimal effort is about what he was looking for, despite most likely costing himself thousands of dollars.Last edited by free; October 25th, 2021 at 09:22 AM.
