Well; with a few exceptions* I've never bought guns as "investments".... but most of the guns I have bought have "held their value" better than Boats,cameras, sports gear.... and most cars.


* Regestered Magnum, Pre-39 anib, 3"66....... all found at dirt cheap prices!

I'd rather have a piece of paper paying me a whopping 1.25% (before the taxman takes his share).


Just kidding!

All it takes is investors to think sales might slip to send stock prices spiraling.

Before long heads will be rolling. So execs have to keep product rolling.

Thread is over a year old.

Yehahya;

I can relate to your concern about your plastic gun's, value's, and their actual decrease in value. I have made it a point not to acquire any plastic guns. Even so, It's come to my attention , that even the value of the plastic sacks that the Kroger Grocery store packs my groceries in, have dropped drastically in value, almost off of the charts, as to value. It just seems to be a sign of the "Plastic age" times. My 2¢ opinion, and suggestion on this matter is, don't hold your breath while waiting for this situation to get better, as it'll probably, get even worse.

Wonder how I stumbled across it.

My bad.

My point of view---- ONLY

If one is satisfied with the price paid, when you bought it - you got a good deal when you bought it.

Forget about what price changes occur afterwards, or on the used gun market.

I prefer to buy new, and I shop around when I am in the market - I always end up satisfied!

My point of view!

Look at the Model 29 craziness in the 70's. A lot of folks (like me) paid double the MSRP just to say that they had "the most powerful handgun in the world" Simple supply and demand.

When the Furbee doll came out people were standing in line and paying $300 or higher for them. A year later I bought one for the grandchild for $20. Supply and demand.

Look at ammo prices now compared to 3 years ago under the greatest gun salesman ever. Look at availability of guns back then compared to now. 3 Years ago many gun makers had a 6 month back log and weren't even taking anymore new orders. Now like was said above the gun and ammo makers have to dump product at low prices or possibly go out of business. I have heard most all the new comer ammo makers from 3-5 years ago are now out of business.

If Hillary had been elected you probably couldn't find a gun or ammo available to buy for less than retail prices plus some. Times change and if companies don't adjust the they go out of business.

Walmart ammo shelves are now totally stocked up even with 22lr bricks.

This is all subject to change at any moment due to these uncertain times.

That there is funny. I don't care who you are.
