The question then becomes if you follow that logic to its conclusion, what constitutes worn out.
For me, I apply the same logic to buying a parker that I apply when I buy cattle at the ranch or when educating ranchers: The variable with the largest influence on wether you make money of that heifer or steer is how much you paid for it initially. You can feed one up and take great care of it, but if you spend too much initially its hard to generate profit.
I have found in gun buying and parker buying the same rule holds true.
Its a lot easier for me to buy a decent shooter grade such as the GH I purchased from Brian and if I decide to flip it to someone nearby for a bit of a profit then it ever would to try to turn a profit on a gun running 15k or more. Its surprisingly easy to find people who have always dreamed of owning a parker at an affordable price.
