Wives?!? I had one of those once.... decided to minimize THAT collection.How is it that your wives have any idea how many guns you have?
This seems like a violation of the INGO code of conduct.
Since I don't need the money.... I never sell things that are paid off. You can have money in the bank or possessions if you so choose. Possessions are more interesting!
I've been considering "consolidating" calibers lately. With all the ammo craziness over the last 10 years it would be a lot simpler to just stock up on a few calibers and have a gun for each function in that caliber. I think the first move will be replacing .243 with .223, there isn't much a .243 can do that a .223 can't, the .223 ammo is cheaper and thanks to the AR platform options are endless.
I have sold guns in the past and now I have totally regretted doing so. Once I buy a gun I keep it unless giving to son or daughter,Now before you get out the torches and pitchforks, hear me out…
My wife is into minimalism, and when she first got big into it, I told her I supported it but that it would never apply to the gun collection. Ever.
Yet over time, I’ve come to the belief that it truly is better to have a few really quality guns that one knows inside and out, than to have a large “collection.” If this was the car world, I’m trying to be more of a race car driver than a car collector.
So I have a few more in the classifieds, and a couple dream guns I’m hoping to make into reality.
How about you guys? Never sell guns? Fewer is better? Anything less than 100 is critically short?
I've always been told be aware of people with one rifle because they know it like the back of their hand.Now before you get out the torches and pitchforks, hear me out…

I like the way you thinkabout every gun I own has a role, even if that role is as a duplicate or backup gun.

Something to keep in mind, if it fits your situation. Firearms as a financial security investment may or may not "cash out" as you think they might.
I have always heard the old saying "you'll never lose money on guns." That has not been true for me anyway.
Only in recent years, timed with a panicked market, was I able to sell some guns and related things at a break even or better price.
