Those of us who got a good head start on today's depressed market for Parkers will still sell for a bunch more than they paid. However, guns we buy today will not appreciate and will bring down our average. Remember, profit is determined on the buy, not on the sell. Try to buy intelligently, and make sure the seller understands the market he is participating in.

When we bought our house in 1981, the interest rate was 18%. Conventional wisdom at the time predicted rates would never be in the single digits again.

Live long enough and you never know what you might see.

Collecting as a way to make money is an “iffy” proposition at best. Collecting as a means of joy and fulfillment is easier to achieve.
