Unshootables
Once in a rare while the Old Fuff comes across what some might call an "unshootable" collector's gun (AKA a "safe queen). The basic idea of having something you don't shoot seems to upset some folks, but not the Fuff, who is sometimes motivated by pure greed.
I don't know about the rest of you, but in my experience one can obtain new toys by either (1) trading something they have, or (2) laying down cold cash. If you have made wise picks when buying your safe queens you'll have something to trade if the occasion calls for it, and it's likely that the value of what you have will be more then what you paid for it. Also down the road if you need some $$$ for whatever reason you can raid the safe.
I know of one instance where a man wisely collected antiques for the better part of his life. When he finely auctioned the collection it sold for over a half million dollars...
and he literally retired on that.
Of course most of us won't get to do that, but at another auction recently a Ruger "Flat Top" .44 Magnum Blackhawk that had an estimated value between 3 to 4 hundred bucks went for... Ready? $1,237.00! Also one of the early S&W .357 "Registered" Magnums valued at between 3 to 5 thousand went for over $20,000.00!!!
In my book folks that have safe queens are not so stupid. Those kind of returns would buy someone a lot of shooters...
