Help Support Muzzleloading Forum:
The cure comes when your kids inherit the collection, hopefully they will know the value ofwhat you've left for them!
For me, shooting the guns has slowed down my purchasing. If I own it I want to shoot it and I only have time to shoot, clean and maintain a given number of guns and I'm about there right now. Still hard to resist that little voice at 2:30 am that says go online and order something.
If the muzzleloaders you need =X and the muzzleloaders you want is = Y then the number of muzzleloaders you have = X+Y+1

I am always on the " +1" side of the equation it seems.
The little lady of 52 yrs now ask me one time why do you need that you already have one of those. I said I don't need it I want it ! Never ask me again.

I don't know. But if you have to ask, you probably don't have enough.

The same can be said for trade guns, too.
We’ve got to separate needs from wants.
If you truly do not ‘need’ there is no problem, no addiction.
Wants are something else! If you’ve got the money, go for it. We only have one this one chance in life to really enjoy our hobbies.
My brother’s wife asked him how many muzzleloaders do you need? His reply was “ I have more than I need, not as many as I want.”
Your plight reminds me of a story. Atwood Kent was a notable inventor, manufacturer and became very wealthy during the golden age of radio in the early to middle 1900’s.
The story goes something like this…
On his deathbed, surrounded by family and his clergy, he exclaimed his only regret was not consuming enough of his well loved fine champagne. With a glass of champagne in his hand, his last word was
”Cheers!”
May we all enjoy our hobbies to that degree!

Whatever you do, do not watch MeatEater Season 10, Episode 4. "Flash in the Pan". I now have 5 Flintlocks in a glass front Rifle Display Case in my Home Office with a Pedersoli Pennsylvania Flintlock Rifle perched on the top of my desk credenza. I won't even mention the number of Percussion Cap Rifles I own. Keep the Narcan handy for me. And if I need to be resuscitated call Shania Twain or Jennifer Nettles to administer mouth-to-mouth for me (LoL)
I tell people, I can stop any time...IF I want to.
I don't want to!
I don't want to!
And never, never sell anything to acquire another ‘new to you’ item that sends a projectile down range. You might decide later you now need to repurchase it with an identical item at a higher price. I’m afraid I know from experience. Very sad indeed.
Like my Dad you to say, "I don,t need no Stinking Meetings"
