Some say they go up over time (if gun is kept in excellent or so condition)
others say they are cars, down and down again year after year
Please give me your opinions on the following to keep/lose value.
Webley Mk VI - excellent
S&W 627 PC - mint
Colt Mark IV Series 80 - excellent
Springfield XD 40 - mint
Uberti 1873. 357 - excellent

The last two won't go up. The webly will, the PC 27 should hold value and the colt should do the same. Sadly, in Canada, most firearms are not an investment.:(

The bottom line is that unless public attitudes change, the next Liberal government is going to ban everything but single-shot, and you are not likely to receive any sort of meaningful compensation for the guns they seize and destroy. Even if this never happens, the mere possibility is enough to keep firearm prices artificially low, so again you're investment prospects are limited.

The only exceptions would be guns that could be easily exported to markets where they have collector value (like the US), but that assumes a future Liberal government would allow you to export anything to save it from destruction.
 
Thanks for the input

With that said, I will work the xd and SAA like dogs, and the others treat like prima donna's. Nah!!!!!!, I didn't buy them to invest anyways. Load em up boys. Lets see which one's wear out first if round counts are equal:D
 
buy them to shoot them and use them.. Some stuff holds it value.. but guns arent exactly real-estate.
