What's Your Biggest Gun Selling Regret?

I was the buyer in this case, but I bought a CZ P01 for $600 A WEEK before CZ sent out the announcement that they had changed their manufacturing process and it was falling off the roster. Notice to stop sales went out when my P01 was in jail. Bet that dude was kicking himself.
 
Prob say my mini 14 bought it in 94 for about 375 otd for a stainless version.

Sold to a friend for 600 a couple years ago so I can use the money to build my 10.5 sbr. Now seeing the price on the mini what they sell for now.

I'll be selling a Mini-30 soon with Ruger fully serviceable mags. I had no idea that they had gone up in value? But maybe the 30 isn't as desirable as the 14.
 
Atlas Apollo. I'll never persuade myself to get another one. I miss her everyday though like my ex fiance.
 
Late 70's; Walther PPK/s .380 and a 6" Python in an Earl Ginn breakfront holster (his shop was in Belmont or San Carlos, super great guy and craftsman).
 
Not really a sale. I traded a Sig p238 (.380 for those who don't know them) for a SIG SAS p239 in .40. Don'tregret it, becasue the SAS p239 is now my favorite handgun and is on my CCW. But I did miss the p238, best pocket gun I have shot. Fortunately, they are not rare, and I recently boought another one :cool:

Nah $600 is a more than fair price for a used P01 on roster or not. I sure wouldnt have paid that. But i dont want a P01 at all. I prefer the P2000 or Glock 19.

They havent gone up in value. I have seen used asking prices increase but asking isnt getting. Im pretty sure they arent getting anymore for them than in the recent past. I think new prices are the same as always. Still over priced.
 
For me it was a Chinese SKS, Izhmash Saiga, Mosin Nagant and a PTR 91. Got all three when they were a lot cheaper than they are nowadays.

$500 when I sold my Norinco Type 56 SKS in 2012. 😭

I have another but it's earmarked for a USAF member.

I love both the Mini-14 and 30 variant, I'm probably going to go through a dealer to get the compliant version of the Mini-14 Tactical later this year.

Nice!! I got the A-Team version last year.

"I love it when a plan comes together!" haha!!

Don’t really regret selling any firearms. I do a lot of buying and selling and only keep stuff really handy that functions well.

I still super regret not buying a Johnson rifle with a ton of super unique documents with it for $4200. I looked at it weekly for a couple months and when I finally decided to purchase it was sold.
 
Duplicate setup of my carry Glock 19. It was nice having an analog at home to keep unloaded and dry practice with without having to constantly load and unload my carry ammo.

$600 was definitely fair at the time. Just lucked out because a week later they were going for $1k-1.2k (which, as much as I love my P01, I know is too much for the gun). I've had my eye on the vp9 match lately, but no one can keep them in stock!
