I've reflected on my collection over last week or so and its got me thinking (yep- it really did hurt my brain).

I know that I collect using my heart not my head. I collect guns that I take a fancy to (to own and use), rather than those which should appreciate in value and will be sought after in future years (in other words financial investments).

Have others arrived at this rationale behind their collecting? Am I alone in this or do other buy on impulse?

Or is there room for collecting both a rifle/pistol that you fancy owning/shooting AND which will appreciate in future years?
