Dumbest sale trade you've made with a gun

[jduff8505]

About 4 years ago I sold my Winchester 62A pump 22 at a gun show for an amount I wish not to disclose. I have kicked myself over and over for doing that, especially the last 2 years. Anyone else make any really regrettable deals?

I sold a T series Browning Hi Power that was mint, with the original pouch, for an embarrassingly low price. Actually, I've sold a few things for embarrassingly low prices. Now I feel awful again - thanks for bringing up a sore subject....

I traded the first handgun I ever owned for a car back in the early 90's. It was a Ruger P89 and the car was a broken down VW squareback. Not one of the smartest things I've done.

Pawned a Marlin .22 Magnum bolt action when I was 16 for $60. Same gun nowadays goes for $250-300.

Sold a tan XD9 to fund the purchase of a mouse gun for pocket carry. It'd be more easily forgotten except I sold it to a family member so I still see it with some regularity. I like the pocket gun a lot, but I really liked that XD too.

When I was 19 I traded a fairly rough Springfield (the kind the cavalry carried before they went to repeaters) for a 9-shot H&R .22 pistol. Top that. All these years later it still makes me cringe.

Everyone I ever got rid of. It's a short list but it is still painfull.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I once got a single shot 12 guage shotgun (unsure of the make now) in trade for a pickup topper. Kept the gun for year or so until one of my uncles saw it and offered to buy it, so I sold it to him.
Wish I had kept it, but it was a brute to shoot.
