In my callow youth (when I had to save up to be poor) if I bought a gun, I usually had to trade one off. I never parted with a deceased relative's gun, or one presented to me as a gift. In later years, I regret getting rid of some, and wound up paying through the nose for the cost of replacements.

I would consider selling a gun today only if it was a lesser-condition duplicate of another one I have, and even then, it may require more than that fact as additional inducement.

"Not using" a gun is no reason to sell it. Acquiring and having a collector's item, or one of unusual beauty, condition or interesting function is almost as much fun as shooting, as far as I'm concerned. I have some guns I've never shot - just nice to have items.
