I am afraid that the value of formerly collectible handguns is going down. Hear me out.

[QUOTE="xtremerange, post: 4251475, member: 42961"] This. My personal observation is that individual milsurp firearms models might go up, especially if you bought them when a container load came in. The distributor was selling a lot at one time to different retailers. When the distributor is out, and no more are available for wholesale, the price will rise over the next few years. Within 3-7 years, the price will stabilize at some multiple (2-5x) of the previous retail price. After that, you will be lucky to get more than inflation increases from them. The potential customer base also decreases over time. The further out you go, the more time you will spend trying to sell it, too. There is the old maxim - Collecting is fun, uncollecting sucks.
