Had a come to Jesus moment

Down in the reloading/ gun stuff room, started to do some math. Prolly going to have to live to 150 years old to use the “ stuff” that I have accumulated!Maybe if I picked up the pace I’d use it all before I hit 120. Man someone’s going to score big on a estate sale! Lol!

Only 150?..I'm good to at least 300!

I suspect many of us are in the same boat.  But I just keep adding stuff.

Every time I think I could reduce, I find just how cheap folks are, and it's not worth even trying to sell.  So I close up the cupboards and say, "later".

My wife, or probably my kids will have to deal with all this, and they wont have a clue.

May my wife/kids sell my crap for what it is worth, not what I told them I spent on it...

I sold off half my guns last year... if I hadn't shot it in 10 years ( with very few exceptions ) it went down the road to someone who hopefully would shoot it more... I pretty much have a lifetime supply of factory ammo in each caliber, but reload... so I keep 100 cases & for the most part a lifetime supply of components...

so I'm good for 150 or so years

my thoughts on the ammo, is you can't shoot it, if it's not assembled, & after dealing with FIL's collection after he died, the appraiser wouldn't attach any value to the 1000's of rounds of handloaded ammo... I didn't want 500 rounds of handloads for each caliber sitting around when I die... I figured the factory ammo may even be worth more than I paid for it at that time... when I wear out a 100 cases in any caliber, I pull 100 rounds of factory ammo out, & then use that as my 100 cases to reload afterwards... at the point I'm at in my life, I buy another 100 rounds of factory to put on the bottom of the stack... maybe someday I'll just start using up that factory ammo bank

I was just reloading some 500jrh, and came across a box of 1000 primers marked 16.00??? I was wondering how long I’d had them!!!!

At least 30 years, I'd guess. If anyone in SW Florida has too many large pistol primers, I'll gladly help you distribute them!

I recently recognized I had this same problem,,,
so I started selling what I thought I could part with, in came the money and,,,
I went back to buying different stuff,,,,
PLUS SOME!!!

Then I started a new rule sell two guns then I can buy one,,, good intentions but that doesn’t seem to be working either.
I buy it now and going to sell later, later never seems to arrive.

New rule that seems to work,,,, He who dies with the most wins,,, I think?.?.?

I think about some guns in my safe. Really cool stuff. But I haven't shot them in years. May never shoot them again. And yet, I like knowing they're in there.

When I drop dead, they may get sold off for a fraction of what they're worth. I doubt I'll care. Lucky day and good for whomever ends up with the great deal and an amazing price.
