It is so hard to plan your buying for that reason. You have to have stuff on your list and then be ready for the stuff that comes from left field that just fits somehow. I now have an official wish list and then one called "not wishlist but would be cool to have" trying to anticipate the stuff from left field

A lot of our members are getting older "me included" and they are thinning their collections, but! low and behold like Craig says the gun you thought you would never have a chance to own shows up. Well you have to try to buy it if it's reasonable and in your budget, I told myself this years resolution was buy no Parkers in 2020, I did good for about 4 days then my resolution which I must say was based on good intentions, went south, so far I have bought 2 Parkers both hammer guns. but heck I could not pass up a 38" 16ga 0 frame gun.

Over the years, when I least expected it, what should appear, but three great HE Foxes, one lettered to Nash's retail store, a pretty nice AHE trap, a wonderful Parker .410 skeet, a Parker try gun, a VHE 20 skeet, a short rack of very high condition Sterlies, the Gold Hearts gun, a couple of 20 gauge Parker singles, a couple of nice 32" Parker smallbores, purchased on this forum, three of John Phillip Sousa's guns, including his Daly Diamond Grade single, and many others. I should not have a "want list", especially at my age, but of course I do. But even I don't know what's on that list.

I usually run across & miss out on the guns of my dreams when I'm low on my gun funds from either recently buying another gun or paying off gunsmithing bills.

I don't consider myself a collector, I'm a "professional accumulator". So I don't really have "a list", but it seems that I'm always stumbling across something that I think I just have to have .

I missed my chance for my dream shotgun , I managed to save up about 6 grand at the end of November . I really wanted a #6 frame Parkers because I like heavy guns . Pugs had two for 4995$ but I couldnt get in contact with them so I ended up buying a rifle . Then not long after that I seen a #6 frame 10 ga on GI and on here and by that time I had done spent my money . You dont know how hard I wanted to kick myself haha .
