Trouble with any investment they all have a "load" Sell your house it's going to cost you 12 % sell a fine double through one of the Auction Houses 1/3 of sale price gets skimmed right off the top. You need a lot of appreciation to make up for the load.
I have a neighbor that has always bought and sold guns. Started with Colt SAA's many years ago when he was in the service in the Pacific Northwest. Spent his off time looking for them. Long time significant owner of SSA’s well known on the circuit. Sold them all moved into Henry Rifles fewer guns much more money tied up. Now says he has the market cornered on Colt Burgess Lever Actions. Must have 3 dozen. He still has a load it's the expense traveling to gun shows buying cheap and meeting up with interested buyers. Never goes through Dealers.
He get his pleasure out of the deal. Honest I don't think he likes guns that much at all. He never shoots them.
