Default Reasonabley Priced

Why is it that when a Guy is looking to BUY, He wants a Reasonable Price?
But when He is SELLING, His asking PRICE is Sky HIGH!

Yeah, and why do when I go to sell, someone wants an even more reasonable price than the one I paid?

In such cases, hold on, and wait. Let your heirs deal with it!

My son asked me if I passed away, did he think Mommy would sell all my guns. He was obviously worried about it

I wanted to buy a rifle from my grandfather 5-10 years before he passed . He just smiled and said wait . He then told me They’d all be in my possession at his demise .

We have no heirs. i've told my wife to seek counsel from some of you here that have been helpful to me.

I don't think The Lovely Linda is going to wait until I'm gone.

I'm personally sticking to my tradition of buying high & selling low.

I didn't plan it to be this way, but it sure seems to be my normal
