OK, I'll be the first person to admit I have a gun purchasing problem, but over the last year I've noticed that my "problem" has changed it's dynamic. For many many years I've bought things that caught my interest for one reason or other or I've looked to collect certain named guns to add to the collection. I'll call this my quantity phase as the number of guns owned increased significantly over the last 5-10 years or so.
It would seem though that my addiction has changed recently and I'm now interested in more selective firearms of a certain quality. Ones that are harder to find or are more expensive so it takes longer to get. This includes ramping down on my collection of guns that have turned into safe queens that I haven't shot in years. A year or two ago I would have thought that selling was sacrilege, but now it's a means to get something better. It's an interesting change in dynamic as there is plenty of fodder that might be making it to the sales block in order to fund something a little different. Seems I have no interest to own things that are easily bought at any neighborhood gun store. The search seems to now be on for things not so easy to get or afford.
In the big scheme of things, I think I'm about to be even more broke then I was before. Oh boy.....
So where on the Quantity to Selective scale do you find yourself?
