I tell people I'm not a collector, I'm an accumulator, and that's what I truly am.
I've got quite a few NIB SA colt revolvers that are worth some money and I can't bring myself to sell them as I just don't sell guns. Trade, sure, even give some away, but I don't sell. There have been 2 exceptions to that in my lifetime, one that was a factory defective gun and the other was sold to a friend who I owed a favor to, so I sold him a gun.
We've also got a bunch of other stuff around here that's worth a fortune, but the same thing is true. I see no reason to sell it, so we just keep it.
Original, working Edison light bulb, antique radios in excellent condition, an extensive coin collection and other miscellaneous stuff we picked up over the years.
The NRA can figure out what to do with it after we're gone, as we've left everything to them.
