Everything I own is for sale for the right price. That being said, I have no intention on selling my guns. Sell most anything else first. But push come to shove, if I had no other choice, I'ld do what I needed to provide for my family.

I'll ALWAYS have at least a hand gun, but I buy swap and trade.

To answer the question.

NO.

Although, I have used a couple to trade up, so to speak. ;)

Yes I sell them!  I mix and match depending on how much change I have around...I tend to sell to finance upgrades.  Better to wait and not take the loss, but that's just the facts.  I've a couple I won't sell that were gifts, other than holding on to honor the gift they've got a price.

I'm with you, Rastus. I am going to be selling a couple of safe queens, mainly to finance new (and prior) acquisitions. DRTV will get first shot (  ;D ) before I list them locally.

Guns are tools, except those with history. So yes, I sell, especially to standardize calibers. Although I don't think I will sell my cute little mutant CZ-40P - it just fits my hand so well!

The one I regretted selling most was of all things, a scoped lever-action Marlin 336RC in .30-.30. Almost NIB even though 50 years old. I replaced it with a year-1 rifle for the model.

I have never sold one.  I have traded two (one I made money on and one I lost) that I did not like, but right now I only have one that I would foresee swapping out (race gun in .45).

When I was young, and younger I heard many people express regrets over getting rid of a gun.  Ever since I have tried very hard to do my homework, buy guns for a purpose, and USE 'EM.  The down side is I keep running out of room to keep them.

Right now I can only think of two reasons I would sell out, economic hard times (need cash to live - once sold a motorcycle for that reason), or to cash out ahead of UK style bans and confiscation (however, I'm enough of a rebel I'd probably fight it too long).

There are only a couple that I would not sell because they are family guns that have been passed down to me and will someday go to my children.

The others I would sell/trade for other guns if I found a good deal or it was something I really wanted. All the guns I own have a purpose. All (except one) fulfill their roles very well, and I really have no need to sell/trade.

I am currently considering selling/trading my Benelli Nova simply because I dont really like the way the gun fits me and would like to find a more comfortable shotgun.
