I understand the thinking of never selling anything, and it has merit, loss knows there is a couple I regret.....mainly SKS and nagant's not because my love of them, but I couldn't have imagined how fast the prices have tripled since just 2-3 Years ago. But, I had one crappy .380 Davis pistol for 10 years, then accumulated a huge amount of guns in a very short period of time. It started with the panic of possible AWB, which got me on the SKS bit because of the hi cap magazines being compatible, then to other odd rifles that I coukd afford during the panic. I was very knew to guns, actually a total virgin, so until I got out there and shot these different platforms and spent some real trigger time with them, I had no idea what I liked, what purpose I wanted from a rifle, what was comfortable, what cartridges turned me on and lots of other things. I now know what I like, that's MOA accurate in an affordable price range, pistol caliber carbines and levers for mid-short range CQ with cartridges that are easy to find brass for reloading or converting, unique pieces that I can shoot well. Anyways, I hope my point is getting across, I didn't know what i wanted when I got into this, I wanted cool looking and "tacti-cool" which I have zero interest in now. It would be silly to think New shooters and buy up a bunch of guns, not knowing what "role" they fill for the shooter, and then never sell them. I think in my first year of really getting into shooting, I bought and sold nearly a dozen rifles, mainly the ak/sks types because they lacked the enjoyment I get from working up groups and learnin the basics of precision shooting(not saying nobody has impressive ak/sks platformed guns that wouldn't impress me, my bro has a cz2008 that is a true MOA with a scout red-dot), but I have found fast dumps and minute of man accuracy no longer excited me. I only regret those sales because of the profit that could have been made, but I didn't lose anything and they got me to learn what's important to me in a firearm. Wow, looking up at that post ^....I said a lot more than I thought I was. Summary: you need to spend time with different platforms to see what you need/like/want when your starting out, then sell the junk that is very likely another's treasure, then refine youe collection for YOU. Still to this day I am experimenting, jist made a 9mm AR and also a 300blk pistol a year ago. LOVE these rifles for what they are, bit wouldn't be suprised if one of them ends up on the block very soon since they both fill pretty much the same niche for my collection. Soooo.......sell it if you don't like it. Don't take a loss bit don't cry if the market goes up afterwards either, guns are rarely money-making investments. Take one of my sks's, spent money of furniture, this and that, shot a couple hundred bucks worth of ammo, and even though they have tripled in price, I spent that cash anyways just trying to make something they weren't.
