    Default Repurchasing guns you've regrettably sold

    I'm up to four. I sold a 6 inch 686 powerport, a smith and wesson 2206, a 39-2 over 20 years ago, and my Smith and Wesson 627.

    Repurchased a recently found 686 powerport, replaced my 2206 about a year ago, fell into a "cannot refuse" deal on a Smith 39-2, and still looking for a Smith 627.

    Sellers remorse doesn't only hurt, it gets expensive.

    Been there. Sold two revolvers last week and one was a repurchase after 25+ years, will most likely buy replacements for them once I retire and have more time to shoot.

    At least your sellers remorse gave way to owners happiness. Enjoy your new(old) toys

    I had 3. A G19 I sold back in 2000 that I replaced this year. I also sold a 637 j frame and a Remington 870 last year and realized pretty quickly how dumb that was so I replaced them this winter at a reasonable cost.
    Trust but verify.

    Too many to count, as of 2 years ago made a pledge not to do it anymore. Has anyone seen my S&W 66 3" or my S&W 39 or my S&W model 19.

    The SKS I had to sell a while back.

    It was a great shooter.

    It's up for sale here but I have too many things breaking / broken or in need of maintence to buy it back.
    On the bright side we're both employed again so I don't have to sell anymore guns.

    I've bought back two, I'm working on another.

    I've sold a dozen or so I'll never be able to replace.

    I should have taken the advice of a friend twenty years ago. He said " I sold a gun once back in the seventy's still bothers me today and I won't make that mistake again."

    I feel good about my motto "sell nothing ... ever" - my underwear has to go first.

    I sold my Beretta 92FS to a very good friend and immediately regretted it. I ended up trading a fellow NESer for a replacement one and couldn't be happier to have "it" back.
