A little while back I came across the receipt for the Breda M1 I had for a while. I paid $220 for it from Wholesale Sports.
EE craziness… now I’ve seen it all.

It’s exactly the same, people thinking that their rust bucket is worth big bucks because they saw a mint example sell at barret Jackson. AND, like this thread attests, those that Ian them think they are pure gold and buyers think that the owner OWES them a deal. I come across guns and classic cars all the time that are on my wish list but the seller wants WAY too much (IMO). I just move on.
I call it stupid money and it is everywhere
some have too much to really care about what they spend, in general or on specifics, so they imo buy stupid
On occasion I have spent stupid money, bought something at a too-high price, but had to have it instead of waiting

Same here.
I'd like to try a BLR but remember them to be 650 , now guys want $1200.
Not sure I want one that bad, after playing with it a while I gotta resell to het the next one, 204 or 25-06 is on the list to try as well.

I have over spent for stuff that I just wanted. It is worth whatever someone is Will to sell it for AND what someone is willing to pay so those items that I spent a lot in, WERE worth that price…. To me. I have passed on MUCH more because it wasn’t worth the price TO ME but someone else did buy it so……..
You mean like bear defense threads in the hunting rifle forum? Reality is, as gun owners, we like to shoot the sh!t about stuff.
I just buy one with some issues because nobody other than picknpull is buying those. People cannot afford repairs and shops are out of their mind with prices. Easy picking.
Youre saying you don't care about the price some dumbass sets for a piece of crap, you just like talking?
OK, that's something.
Is price really that important... if you really want it... we all know most of us are beyond help.
Heaven knows I've tried to cut back.
Tell ya from experience...
Don't go thinking "I'll just avoid looking at the EE, G unPost and TownPost this month... that will save me lots of $$."
Come the next month...you'll make some crazy choices.

There comes a point when you have a large enough collection you can rotate through it and it's like getting new guns every month.
That's why I keep most in rifle socks... it's like opening a new present every time!!
And sometimes you find a gun you forgot about. About 8 years ago I was buy Lee Enfields with plans to restore them. Put a couple away behind other rifles. Last fall I found two #1 mk3‘S that I hadn’t been written down in my book.
Once in a while I find something cool I'd forgotten in the gun room. Was about to make an offer on a scope the other day then happened to find the exact same scope in a box up on a shelf in the gun room. Nice to find but makes me question the state of my memory.
Some of those older boomers with dementia only need one gun, and for them it's like a new one every day.
