I bought a Colt Diamondback .22 6" newffor about $200. When I see them now at shows they are usually asking around $2,000.
Bought an SKB 200E for $600 at an auction, last one I saw was $1,200.
Several others have increased in value, but these are the best examples I have. Of course, to get the money I'd have to sell, and I don't want to.
Any transferable pre '86 machine gun. Paid like $500 for my West Hurley Thompson 1928 and $200 NFA tax circa 1985, easily would sell for $14-18K now. Bigest mistake I ever made was not following up on the M-16 that I'd test fired and was ready to buy when prices doubled immediately after the new rules were announced. I didn't have a lot of spare cash then, but I should have went to the Credit Union.
