Some are better at it than others

And just about everyone is better at it than I am. :-D

In 40 years or so of buying guns, I can only think of a few that were especially good deals in terms of price.

When I decided to sell the bulk of my collection a few years ago, I'd say I came pretty close to breaking even, but that was only because I had kept most of them 10 years or more, and prices had indeed gone up.

I have to admit, though, it helped that I didn't consider inflation in my accounting. :-D
