Is it time to liquidate?

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

Starting this in the pasture since that's where it will end up anyway. First off this is not a bitch/complaining post. This is a legitimate question: are guns selling at the listed prices? Specifically S&W revolvers and 1911s. I have been a collector for years and thinking it may be time to liquidate my assets while the prices are inflated. Or do you think they will keep climbing? I am sure they're are some good deals on the trader, but everything I am looking for is either on the other side of the state or seems inflated. I am seeing RIA 1911s listed for nearly $1k and S&W revolvers over $2k. I am sure some of these are not your run of the mills guns and are collector items, but it seems to have inflated the prices of the common guns. Is it time to get out or keep holding on?

Your guns haven't gone up, your dollar has gone down. You have assets that seldom lose value. That's how I see it anyway. Dump the **** you don't want to keep, keep the valuable stuff.

If you don’t mind the “flipper” label and the PMs with 10 year old internet comparisons you will get from many on here.

Do you believe the inflation affecting firearms is different than the inflation affecting everything else to be different things?

Sold my drum of 5.56 when it was $1 a round somewhere else for exactly this reason. I'll be a bastard somewhere else

No, but I may need to hold on to my cans of Spam...

I listed misc. ammo on a local auction site; slept perfectly fine at night. The buyer set his/her own price and I honored it.
