Ok, try to follow lol. This all started just trading. Traded a bag of screw drivers and a volt meter for a Norinko SKS and a Mossberg 500 with 380 rounds of Buckshot. Traded the SKS and a HiPoint for a Wasr 10-63. Traded the Wasr for a Bushmaster XM15-E2S w/ extras. Traded a golf club for a gold trigger Marlin Model 60. Traded a free laptop for a Glock 26 w/ 2 standard mags and 2 30 round mags, box and docs. Traded the Glock 26 for another SKS, a Tec 9 with 2 30 round mags plus $100. Put an add on another site that I was looking for another AR. A guy called me the next day and said he'd take $400 for it. It was a Double Star Corp lower, Bushmaster MP Hbar upper 1/7 with a flash suppressor, fixed carry handle, Quad rail, fore-grip, Magpul stock, 7-30 round mags, 180 rounds of ammo, Uncle Mikes carry case and red dot scope. Sold it for $1000, pre-Newtown. Used the $1000 to purchase a bnib DPMS Oracle w/ red dot, 3- 30 round mags for $650. Traded the DPMS for a Sig P229r w/ 100 rounds of .40 and a Savage Axis .308 w/ bag, 50 rounds of ammo, Bushnell scope, bi-pod, and $50 cash, Pre-Newtown. Traded the Savage Axis for a Remington 700 in .270, and kept the scope and bipod, plus $50 cash. Traded the Remington 700 w/scope, bipod and $300 cash for a 1997 Honda Prelude. Traded the Sig P229 to an ODT member w/ a lot of extras for a FN Tactical Police shotgun and $500 cash. Traded the FN Tactical for a lnib Springfield XDS 45. Took the $500 cash and bought an XD45. Traded the XD45 for a Sig P220 W. German w/ 2 mags and carry case. Wife didn't like the XDs, so I traded for a Beretta PX4 Storm bnib and still have it. Sold the P220 for $500 and added $650 for a Sig P226 Dark Elite w/ 3 mags, box, docs, and 500 rounds of ammo and still have it. Phew! Since we were talking about guns, I left out the 2 other Honda Preludes and the Yukon Z71 that I have now that came from some misc. trades including dirtbikes and quads. All started with a bag of tools. Also ended up with .68 acres of property in Toccoa, GA on Lake Hartwell. All this in about 6 months.
Gen 2 Glock 19 for free from father-in-law. Last weekend, he asked if I wanted his High Point Carbine (do not have possession yet). I'm trying to finagle his .45 Camp Carbine for him instead. 
Best purchase was the ****'s Black Friday 10/22.

My Dad bought his old .357 Smith from the police department he worked for when they swapped to autos (a long time ago). He dug through the box of revolvers until he found HIS serial number. He carried that gun for years at the department and it is now mine. Engraved with the department name. Not the fanciest gun in my collection, but my favorite.
Like new Ruger 77/17hmr with a like new Zeiss scope for $450 at auction. Gun and scope didn't have a scratch.
your a resourceful guy, but the property has taxes on it every year so it does cost you over time
Picked up a HK Mark 23 Socom with camo green tactical bag for $1000. Also a Gem-Tech suppressor for $200 (same deal)
