That sort of thing does not surprise me at all.

If they're getting burned on both ends, they're not very good at "investing". :doh:

As is ALWAYS 100% true, ALL THE TIME, it pays to be an educated consumer. No matter what it is or who you're buying from. I don't depend on my education from Gunbroker sellers any more than I do from the guys at the local gun shop. That said, there's a lot of folks selling guns that don't know...

Colt didn't make anything. They assembled and finished them from all outsourced parts.

That turned out nice!

I'm buying the gun, the box isn't even a factor.

I would wager most people feel that way. Everybody says they want a box but few are willing to pay any extra for them. As I said before, I held onto every box for decades but eventually realized that I've never gotten more money out of a sale or trade because I had the box. I was, in effect...

It's a point of pride. I know it's conventional wisdom but sometimes conventional wisdom needs an enema. How many millions of 1851's and 1860's has Uberti produced? Are any of them collectible? Do you really think the boxes of today, that haven't changed in 30yrs, will some day be worth what a...

Not exactly the same thing. These aren't toys we're collecting, sitting on a shelf somewhere. If you're going to leave your guns on a shelf, then I strongly suggest using the original box to do so. Makes it easier to stack them. However, these are toys we're taking out of the box and using for...

Cimarron boxes are Uberti boxes. No difference but the graphics. Watch collectors often praise or complain about the packaging but that's a timepiece that costs thousands of dollars. You kinda expect something nice when you're spending 10 grand. A $500 replica revolver, not so much. Not in my...

They may ask for the box but I've never had them pay more for one.

As long as it makes it home, all the way to the garbage can.

Yeah, that is NEVER true.

Will Ghormley has produced all sorts of pattern packs but I've always drawn up my own Slim Jim patterns.

And yet major suppliers use them all the time. Federal law, not "ATF definitions". Apparently some folks don't know the difference.

This one is a crossdraw and I usually use a 2.5" gun belt. All the time!

Blackpowder guns are not "firearms" per federal law.

Thanks!

I did.

I always wanted to try one of the flat-topped Frank James patterns and finally got around to it.
