I buy new cars as a rule and drive and maintain them until they start costing too much to own them anymore. But to me, a nice gun is a commodity sort of like a house, that I expect to at least hold its value if not appreciate over time. Unfortunately the market on used sxs guns doesn't work like that. When there is a glut on the market, either in houses or used sxs guns it turns into a buyer's market.
