I'm with Bac1023. He's a wise man. Not that I have anything of any great value. But they're valuable to me!
Now, if I had something sentimental, like some of y'all have...I'd still follow Mr. Lewis' sound advice:
Slainte!

I'm always buying and selling. Every time I tell the wifey "I'm keeping this one" she says it will be gone in a week. My kids know something is up when they see a gun pic from the collection on the computer screen. They know its up for sale. Just bought a Sig MK25 and I sold it two days later. Did I mention I get bored easy?? Funny how us men are saving guns to pass to our sons. They mean far more to us then they do them. Hell- I'm sure whatever guns i do pass down to my boys will be sold sometime between my viewing and burial.

I've never sold a gun, and I hope / plan to never sell any of my collection. My plan is only to ADD to it.

I can't really see selling or trading any of my firearms. Unless I was extremely desperate for money. The one I no matter what wouldn't sell is my Winchester 1897

I haven't sold any gun ever. I've considered it though.

Keeping these as they are sentimental...
Winchester Model 94 - 32 Win Special - Got it for Christmas when I was about 12 years old.
Glock 19 - 9mm - Got it when I was about 19 years old.
I'm 28 years old now

I did not sell my 1936 rinfire Walther PP, not my priced Anschütz 1423, 1422, 1420, and Walther KKJ. I gave them to my sons this January.
It's the one on the right side
The Python will be next but the last handgun that I want to part with is my Korth - I try to shoot it to pieces.

Very nice. I would think that giving guns to your sons warms the heart more than selling them. I don't know for sure as I have neither sons nor Anshutz, but that is my guess.

Guns that belonged to my grandfather because although they belong to me, they don't really belong to me.
As far as my guns,.....I don't know.

I plan on keeping all of my guns and building my collection. The only gun I've sold was an AK pistol that I never warmed up to. Too hard to shoot well (I could easily do better at 100 yards with my 1911), and I made a large profit on it during this panic.

Serbian M92 PAP, it was a nice little gun with good fit and finish (for an AK) but just wasn't my thing. I only bought it because I got a really good deal.

Thanks, and yes. It warmed their hearts and rekindled their interest in guns. My sons are still in university and have a few years to go, so their financial situation is not bright right now. I always give them rare magazines, Python grips, and Anschütz peep sights to sell to fund some firearms project and am proud that they are now reloading their own cartridges.
I do not think that my sons would ever sell one of those guns that I have given them but even they are running out of place in their large safes  .
While many of the posters here never plan on selling any guns, I wonder who of them (besides BAC  ) has over 50 guns.
I have failed with my plan to stay below 50 guns, despite my gifts to my sons and storage and accessibility are getting harder.

I have no problem selling a gun if I know I will not use it or there is something that I would rather have to replace it's purpose. I have sold 3 guns in the past and have 2 more that will be sold on Friday.
If I had to choose just one gun in my safe that will never be sold, I would have to say my S&W 610 10mm revolver. I love that gun!

I gave this to my oldest son:
And since his brother is a good kid, he got my old bowling pin gun. I am glad that I can still use it.

My safe has a revolving door lol. If I don't use it I sell it or if something new or old catches my attention I sell something to get it.
At this point I'm pretty content so I don't anticipate any turnovers this week.

I have around 72, not exactly sure, I haven't counted them in a while.  Over the past few years I have sold/traded about 15 or so and only regret three of those sales. Not a big deal though because the three are easily replaced, I just haven't done it yet.
As far as room for storage goes......I need more! I wish we could have basements in South FL, but we all know what those are called here.....
swimming pools!
