you arent wrong. wjhen my grandmother passed my dad was the executor and he gave his brother my grandmas hunting rifle and he almost instantly sold it and purchased a new AR.

Dave nailed it. Especially on if its the worst 10% of your collection vs a significant portion. Plus with them having a plan and doing well, they arent in a desperate situation. If you told me i had to sell the worst 10% of anything id collect, it'd temporarily bother me then I'd be like "eh, those werent that important anyway". Lets face it. If the worst 10% is like modern AR platform stuff that you can easily buy again, sell it. Then, in one month when you dont have a loan payment, you just pay cash and get something better. Many of us gun guys never sell guns though. They rarely lose any value anyway.

IME selling a firearm comes down to 1. Is it sentimental/very rare/borderline irreplaceable? Then no. 2. Do you plan to buy the exact replacement at a later date? If yes to #2 you may as well borrow money to pay off your debt. I say this, terrible idea by the way, because when I sold my not rare and easy to replace arms, the cost to replace a couple years later was more than had I borrowed the money to pay off the initial debt, that is to say the price increase exceeded the interest on NEW borrowed money.

And he starts a mining rig and his bill becomes 20k for that month - my luck

The average electrical bill is like $200 a month. Wtf are you talking about???

Guns and tools are two things you never get rid of.

[@ericlopez7120]

Play it backwards. If I took out a bunch of debt to get some guns, would it be worth it? Unless they’re family heirlooms I say sell it.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

I have to agree on this. Luckily I never used debt to buy my guns.

[@ErrorPagenotFound-ig1cy]

If you dont have CASH to pay for those firearms then stay away from the gun store🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

[@I_like_turtles_67]

@@ErrorPagenotFound-ig1cy I am currently haply with what I have. I've basically been buying Ruger RGR stock in a retirement account. They pay a nice dividend that I set on drip. They had a bonus 5.00 dollar dividend in 2020. That was pretty epic. 😍

In addition to the short time horizon, the thing that makes this a unique exception is that it’s an appreciating asset. I’m personally the type of person to take one last group photo and purge a chunk of them, but it’s up to you to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.

[@reesercliff]

wonder if Dave's opinion would of been different if it was a videogame collection instead of a gun collection

[@donventura3844]

More than likely yes

[@Popeye21]

I regretfully had to sell off almost my whole collection before so I could stay afloat. Now my life has changed, I’m in a better financial situation, almost debt free and I have a nice collection going on

[@brettascott124]

The example that Dave brought up is what grown ups do

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

I once sold a WWII Springfield M1 dated to june of 1944. Granted i flipped the hell out of it and made like $1200 during covid but now to buy it back would cost even more as the M1 Garands have skyrocketed in value for whatever reason. The worst part is I didn’t even have to sell it. I miss that rifle every day. The amount of stories that rifle must’ve had is mind blowing. Its just something ill have to live with unfortunately. I never sell anything I wont miss now. I haven’t sold a gun in a while. If you don’t have to sell them, don’t. Because you will absolutely regret it and buying them back someday will most likely cost more than you originally bought it for and sold it for.

[@stevenporter863]

Sell the gun collection to Dave then buy it back when you are debt free. 😂😂😂

[@dummgelauft]

😂😂😂

[@bigboyzguns8164]

I regret every single gun I've ever sold from my private collection. Keep all of them.

[@ShrockWPS]

I've sold many and most I made a profit on. Odd to have regrets on selling some steel

[@ShedzGuy]

Sell precious metals? In today’s environment? Never!!! And don’t talk about them on public radio.

[@TestTest-ei4gi]

It’s legal…… there’s nothing illegal about saying you have a gun collection on radio. It’s not like he said he killed someone lol

Don't sell irreplaceable stuff or what you defend your home and yourself with. But the varmint guns and the 500 magnums and the 5 other ars, yes. Get rid of those before something more important.

I sold a lot of stuff that meant a lot to me that at the time I thought was just material stuff and it is. I just look back now and realize how immature I was. I sold guns, jewelry, and cars that were passed down to me. I wished now I would have kept them for my kids one day.

You can live in Switzerland, be part of the army reserve and own a firearm (meaning you get to keep it at home). And Switzerland is a whole lot better nation to live than 3rd world US

@@dedalliance1 I readily admit, there was some irony in my answer. Homelessness and radical Christianity aside, the US is a great country and has a lot to offer.

Part of their constitution. The Swiss really have their ducks in a row...

[@SingerAuto1967]

I struggled with selling my 67 impala that was used in a TV show. It would pay off 80% of my debt but it also makes me a extra 35,000 a year doing shows with it. It’s a car that my son loves and we went cross country to get it. It’s literally a 1 of 4 left out there. I decided to take a little longer on the debt and just use the income it brings in and throw 100% of that at the debt. It’s more than a car, it’s 3 years of cross country trips with my son and thousands of fans that see it a few times a year at the shows. The car is paid off so if it ever comes to the car or loosing my house or daily drivers the car will go. But for now it’s spent money that makes me more so I keep it.
