Why do you sell a gun?

[steve white]

When I was in my twenties and early thirties, I sold a few guns just because after acquiring them, they no longer lit my fire. Then I had a several stolen. Since then, I haven’t sold any and acquired a few more. I’m not adverse to selling to upgrade.
I enjoy working with different bullets and powders, even though I may never hunt with them. Just about every gun in the safe makes at least two or more trips to the range every year. For me, guns are meant to be shot and not sit in a safe.

+1 selling to upgrade

It’s weird that this popped up now, as I’m looking through what I have and what I can cull that I dont use, I keep coming back to trading off a naval luger that I have, my dad picked it up during ww2 and had a custom shoulder holster made by a boot maker in Italy and carried it throughout the war, he was a master sergeant d-day plus 1, I have mixed emotions on it, it is a work of art and the fact that my father carried it through those trying time, but I would like to get into a Blaser R-8 system, I haven’t made any decisions yet, but this post popping up was timely.

The Naval luger and holster with the story and memories can't be replaced. Yes you will still have the memories and story but the tangible item eill be gone.
What's more important the luger or the R8. To me it would be the luger.

To me guns are nothing more than tools. I did not appreciate quality until I owned quality. After that it was easy, quality over quantity any day of the week.

Have gone through a lot, the older I get the quicker I realize. If it is not what you want or does not feel right move it down the line. I would rather have one 10k rifle that 10 - 1k rifles, that's just my thoughts.
