Steve, I have a similar story. After buying a handful of guns for the first time in 2012 after OBummer was reelected I saw a Pistol pack in a LGS. By the time I researched it and went back to get it the unfired pack had sold for $900. I found a couple of 15-2s at other stores and then discovered Gunbroker. I have over 200 now. All sizes and calibers. Also lots of Smiths, Korths, Manurhins, and other Revolvers.
I too have slowed down while a gun room addition is built. The wife wants the bedroom back. And the laundry room, closets, etc. I plan on selling a bunch to upgrade. Also have parts, grips, BAs, cylinder assemblies galore.

Wow! I wish that I had the disposable income to buy 200 guns. However, I'm not a collector so I'd want 200 different guns.

That was 200 Dan Wessons. I also have Smiths, Manurhins, Korth, Erma-Werke, Charter Arms, Taurus, and a slew of Semi autos. I could have put the money in the stock market or bonds( have that too) but the guns I can control, leave to heirs without taxation , has no property taxes, keeps up with inflation and more, and I can fondle them😏.

“…and I can fondle them” Yes! An investment you can use/shoot, enjoy, touch, fondle, show off, and likely make money…especially if you keep them for a long time.

Investing in precious metals is always a good idea!

It would never work for me as an investment because I find that I am unable to sell a gun.

Investment is the terminology you use to “justify” firearms purchases, not only to yourself, but a spouse.

Gold and silver have a 28% capital gains tax. A couple of gold coins fly under the radar but if any sizable amount or an index fund gets reported to the IRS.

I was talking about steel, brass, and lead!

I've heard that anti gun SOB Stephen King has one of the largest gun collections on the east coast... I wonder why...
He lives in Sarasota FL and I know people who work on his house.

Simple, "guns for me but not for thee." I found a quote for him that semi-autos allow us to go on a testosterone jag and yell "yee-haw." Odd, I've never yelled "yee-haw" while shooting.
