I am always surprised at the amount of people that sell guns so quickly after acquiring them. Or how quickly after getting a good amount of work done to them and waiting a while for that work to be done.
For many the thrill is in the chase or in the chase for the next one and the best way to do that is to buy each one right and make a little on it to use it as a stepping stone to the next.

Great post, Dudley. In my collection, a gun has to have quite a problem for me to sell it quickly after acquiring it. How badly do we really need the money from a good gun to go out and buy another? I bought my first Parker in 1960 and haven't missed a paycheck since. I would just wait for Friday, deposit my paycheck, go home and send away for another Parker.
