Impact of coronavirus crisis on antique revolver demand & value

[Heir Kommt Die Sonne]

Most collectors are guys who are far enough in a career to have disposable income, not the young guys feeding kids and buying their first house. That typically takes a long time. People enter a career around 20, raise kids for around 20, pay off debt for another 15 or 20 so we are talking about a group of folks roughly averaging to be in their 60s or older.

On this you're right. I'm young myself (early 20s) and I'd love to carry on these old hobbies, I'd LOVE to buy a few classic cars, Id LOVE to have a few more classic firearms, but I personally don't have the income to do so. I already have what I wanted most, so I in that I'm very thankful. But as for continuing on the hobby and presversation of those hobbies, well its not that i'm not interested, I am very interested, but I cant afford it.
I'm sure there are plenty of young people in the same boat. We just don't have disposable incomes anymore. There's a huge career gap, meaning most people we know with actual careers are over 40. Me, I'm an artist but I don't make nearly enough for it to be taken as a serious job.
That said, I do have a interest in old firearms, I have saved up what I could and I have bought a quite few of them over the years. traded a good chunk of them though, but they're in the hands of people who'll preserve them. And I have what I wanted, and will keep.

But it does raise questions, such as when I get old, would any of my descendants even be interested in what I have?
