And then there are the 'hoarders' who buy any and all they can find regardless of the grade, condition, or price, and the vast majority of the guns they hoard will never see the light of day until the day they die. Then the market becomes flooded thereby causing a devaluation of the ones we have in our comparatively meager collections.

Right, Dean, we're going to lose our asses when we try to sell our "junk". On a more serious note, William Davis brings up the subject of the "brand switcher" who really has no love for the guns but wants to be where the action is. I am not real fond of those guys.

I dunno if I'm a hoarder but you can bet your backside if I can buy it right I'm gonna do so . It may stay with me a few days months years or my life . But I'm not adverse to buying one or two keeping them a bit and rolling them over for a profit and buying something else .

Seems to me the majority of yawl do the same thing .
