Colt 1911 $350,Mini 14 $150,Valmet 76 in 308 $650.S&W 15,$100,S&W 10 $100.and many others but they were lost in a boating accident.

I'm thinking we need an ODT barge and go magnet fishing one day.

I bought a 3 gun package recently for $900:

1 Mid 70's Browning SA-22 with gold inlay scroll engraving and beautiful wood in good+ condition ($5-600 value)
2 Springfield (CZ made) M6 scout rifle (22 over 410) with original box in almost new condition ($4-500 value)
3 Mid 50's Winchester model 63 22lr with beautiful wood in good+ condition ($5-600 value)

The plan was to sell two out of the three and keep one, which would leave me with about $0 to +$100 in one gun, OR sell one and keep two, which would leave me with about $200 each in two guns,
OR sell all three and make about $5-600 profit.

The problem is when they get so pretty that you don't want to sell them. Having a hard time deciding between the Browning and Winchester, keeping both for now. Springfield's about to hit Gunbroker (not pictured). So roughly $200 each in the Browning and Winchester 22's seen below:

I bought a stainless steel Ruger single six with both cylinders for $125 out of the old small Atlanta Advertiser I'll never forget it because when I went to meet the guy in Peachtree City and asphalt truck and a big Cadillac collided and it flipped the asphalt truck right in front of us I don't know if anyone was hurt but that's a sight I'll never forget.

One of my favorite buys was back in the late 80s. I bought a nice used 180 Series Mini-14 for around $180. A few months later the Clintoon gun ban came about and folks were going nuts buying stuff. A buddy said he was going to the gunshow at the farmers market and wanted to know if I had anything I wanted to sell. I said sure, see if anyone is dumb enough to give you $500 for this Mini 14. A few hours later he walks in and hands me $500. The next day he tells me he knows a guy selling a Remington 600 in .350 Mag and he knew I collected 600s. asking price was $350. I handed him $350 back and he came back with my Remington 600 in .350. So I've always figured I had $30 in it. Over the years I have worked in LGS so often times I bought trade-ins for pennies on the dollar. I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to guns. Probably only bought a handful at near retail. So if I own it, it probably was gotten at a steal. On the other hand, I've bought a few pigs on a poke too.
