Stupid people pay well for irrelevant details.i got to ask what the hell is the point of owning a gun like that
functional and art deco are 2 different things
what is the point in having a gun with gold inlay or all that find art work on it
and unless the gun was rare or owned by someone speical the value of it is not going to increase passed the value of the metal
damn i am still giving to much creditStupid people pay well for irrelevant details.
Yup.damn i am still giving to much credit
I made $1,800 owning that gun for a couple years and showing it to my friends who appreciate the gunmaker's arti got to ask what the hell is the point of owning a gun like that

Knowledge is power. Damn straight.I made $1,800 owning that gun for a couple years and showing it to my friends who appreciate the gunmaker's art
It's never been fired- putting a round through it would lower it's value by at least $500 or more. That gun is worth ~$7,000 now so the guy that bought it is up $2,500
When it comes to collectible firearms, knowledge is worth money
if the gun does not fire it is not a gunI made $1,800 owning that gun for a couple years and showing it to my friends who appreciate the gunmaker's art

Hows it going for you? I hope you get all those things worked out with your dads passing buddy.if the gun does not fire it is not a gun
it is a wall art .....a gun is a functional peice of gear
i know gun smiths i know gun smiths that are 2 times my age (been donig it longer then i been alive)
they will tell u the same damn thing ....it is wall art and yes it was worth some money back in the day when it was done by hand .....now a days stuff like that is done with a CCI machine
the art and skill that was there is gone .....a machine can reproduce anything and do much finer detail work with less likely hood of a mess up
my endHows it going for you? I hope you get all those things worked out with your dads passing buddy.
Sorry to bring that up, but i hope you and yours are having a happy holiday(s)
I think you must have misunderstood my post regarding that gun's unfired condition, that gun is fully functional, it's a .45if the gun does not fire it is not a gun

I have a friend i gave an offer to, now i believe the said friend thinks i'm using him ..... cowboy untrust mentality comes to mind.
Anyways the thing is i would be using him for his intelligence in the game only, but to gain money for both .... is this a bad thing ? and the thing is i make money and can make more without him ... so he's not needed as much as he thinks.
8 billion people and he thinks i 'need' him or something idk.
