I think we have all sold a gun or two to finance a car, help "the kids", make a house payment as for the most part they are a source of ready cash. I have always maintained the idea that my guns are a tax free part of my retirement I just hope I have the courage to sell them when the time comes.
On the other end of the spectrum there are guns that I would never sell for any reason. These include a Ruger MK1 22 pistol and a Browning (Belgium) 9mm Hi Power that for some reason my dad has. Then there is another Ruger MK1 .22 target pistol I bought to give to my brother and his Remington 1100 20ga and a Ruger M77 in .270. Joe had to leave us very early and while I have never shot the 1100 in over 30 years it isn't going anywhere. I used his 270 a couple of years ago in Wyoming and plink around some with the 22.
