@Bubbleboy There is nothing special about knowing which airguns have will go up in value or hold their value well. Its not some skill that must be guarded because there’s huge profits to be made. It’s a matter of seeing thousands of WTS ads throughout the years, across multiple forums and by default absorbing that knowledge as you look for your next rifle. I’m not asking because I think I’m going to find Gary Barnes type rifles in estate sales and then come make a fortune in the member classifiedsof AGN. Thank God I make enough money to support my AG habit and can continue to buy more guns that I don’t need but want
@cmatera I can deal with 20%. Thanks for sharing your experiences
@Bob-in-WV I’ve seen what happened to guys like TP3ranch I don’t care to make money in airguns. I am just fascinated by airguns as an ingenious feat of engineering's and their functionality
@JadedC I agree, scarcity is probably the biggest factor in value increasing. Kind of like this Smith &wesson 78g i just bought. It’s the early model with the adjustable trigger, custom 9” Lothar Walther barrel and has a frame that does not leak like some of them were known to do. The guy that sold it to me gave me such a good price I saw no reason to negotiate. Even thought it’s only worth about $200 (to the right buyer) was a good investment for me and I will not be in the red if I decide to sell it.
