Well this man probably doesn't have a wife, or he wouldn't be able to afford all those.  ;D

Answer her question with a question..."Do you have enough shoes, how 'bout purses?"

The problem with that is, the most expensive purse my wife has, cost $250.00. :)

What resale value does that $250 purse have? Depreciation? My wife and I have had this conversation and I've always been able to trump any arguement she brought up with, "If we needed $500 in a pinch could you take your shoes or a purse to a pawn shop and get the money?" Guns have value that doesn't go away and she can't argue with that. I wish my 401K would allow me to take 5% of my income and invest it in guns, pretax with a matching 5% from my employer, my portfolio would be a lot more attractive than it is.

I do the same thing! I just pointed out last night, that years ago, when I was laid off, I sold over half of what I had, and it kept us in food and gas.

That's pretty much how it works at my house.  Cool for me, even though it may be hard on the wallet.

Impressive.  Is that a private collection?

I wish I could say I was jealous.  Impressive yes.  I am a practicality person.  I would have spent that much money on very few rifles and maybe a couple of pistols.  The rest would have gone to ammo, a remote plot of cheap land to build my bug-out bunker, back up gun parts, food, and a bug out vehicle.  Even after all of that I probably would still have a lot of money left over compared to what that guy paid for that collection.

I think being practical has less to do with this persons collection than the philosophy of "He who has the most toys wins." 
Not that there is anything wrong with either point of view.:evilgrin:

Better to sell a good wife then a good gun, even more so a bad wife.  ;D

A gun will still look sexy even when it is 100 years old  :D
