The Holy Grail is being truely satisfied with what you have.
Admiring other pieces is fine, and contemplation of the next purchase is understandable, but when one can look at their collection of one or a dozen, and say "Well, I've come full circle, and everything I now own is important", then you have reached nirvana. I'm in the process of selling a rifle, but it was only after long internal debate. I may thin one more piece, but other than that, I feel I am happy with what I have.
The gun manufacturers made their money. Buyers got good deals. I learned and am content. Everybody is happy.
Buyers especially liked me because I'll buy new, put 500 rounds through it, and sell it for 30% off. Call me silly, but I always preferred new, because if it turned out to be a keeper, I'd intimately know it's history. I've have three of those, loveable and handsome they are, out of several dozen. And several that were probably dang close to NIB.
