Huvius,

Sorry about that. Curl has a little something there that is a bit distracting.

Getting back on point (your thread); as a collector it seems quite normal to re-evaluate ones collection every once in a while. As a fellow gun nut they are all neat but like any work of art it's probably good for the collector community to move them along for others to enjoy. I would imagine we've all started with the guns we could afford at the time but with luck and hopefully with improved fortune our ability to "bump it up some" comes about. Like many I'm bummed by the market sucking as it does with regard to the selling of the "entry level" collector arms. Most of my dealer buds agree that one can sell $300 guns all day and those that typically buy the higher-end $60K plus guns still can. The $2K to $5K lower grade (many engraved) range bites, at least that's the way it looks to me and a few others I know at the moment. I think we all need to be patient and continue to keep an eye peeled for the one that we just have to have. Ah yes, the other thrill of the hunt ... reference Curls latest acquisition
