none, im adfraid if i sell guns its always at a loss and some of them have been true nib. i mean i have got things that i told my dealer to order to see what the would be like and when the come in and i get them they just dont fit me, or its not what i want. i did this on a tz99. everybody said they were one of the best deals out there ordered, it was to oversised for my hands and i just could not hold it correctly. sold it to a frend the next day for 150 bucks so he could have his first pistol. seems like thats how i do things.

I bought a NIB Colt Dragoon reissue in the '70's. Kept it uncocked and oiled. Sold it for about $200 more than I paid.
It was no fun. Just a lump o steel. Coors, I....hate....black powder cleanup so it was no chore to avoid shooting it.
I have only ever sold one gun and I got what I payed for it. It was a used SKS that had been decked out and looked tactiCOOL, so I bought it. The friend with me was going to buy it if I didn't. I shot it once in a year, so I sold it to him for what I payed for it. I did sell some 7.62x39 at a loss though.
Let's see...new guns I later sold. About ten years ago I bought a Ruger 22/45, shot it a bunch for a couple of years and got all my money out of it selling it to a dealer How did that happen? No wonder I sold it.
That's the only NIB gun I ever sold. I don't remember what I got with the money. A Ruger .357 I think. Still have one, so maybe that was it. Yes, I bought it in 1985, sold it to my dad, and then bought it back when I sold the 22/45. He seldom shot it. He had a Python and was just keeping the Ruger in the family until I came to my senses.
Well, I had a Savage 24 and a Fox Model B that were new when I got them around 1960 or so, but my dad paid for them and sold them a few years later, so I didn't have any money in them.
I sort of miss the 22/45, but don't miss the other two at all.
Well, if you like tearing up a shirt every time you go shooting, and big black-and-blue welts on your shoulders from every shell fired, I guess the gun is OK.
Then there's the Manual of Arms. I heard that Harvard was offering a one-semester course in that.
I had a preban SKS that I bought in the early 90's for $75 at a gunshow. It had the bayonet (knife type) and a bunch of accessories. I fired maybe 500 rounds out of it total, and I kept it in decent shape. Sold it 3 years ago for $350.
I did buy a Colt New Frontier SAA in .45 in the early 80's that was priced wrong - it was $295 when it should have been about $570. I sold it to a dealer for about $450, I think. Never shot it, but heck it's fun to think about.
I nearly bought a used HK91 in Texas, in the late 80's, when a guy had it at a gun show for "$500 negotiable" of course I could have made a grand or more reselling it, a couple years later.
Had a chance to trade even for an Uzi semi-auto about the same time. Yes, I could have made a lot of money on that one, also.
