phill posted:I had bought an Overland SD40-2 painted UP #3400 a decade + ago and paid $1000 and see on EBAY as bidding at just over $600 and I am just hoping that it bids out around that $1000. If you are bidding I am sorry that I feel that way as I know everyone wants a steal but I want to keep its value up there. Is it that interest in Brass just slipping away as more detail is now in plastic. I still think brass has the best and sharper details and one can't find a good SD40-2 in plastic.
The first thing you have to think of is what is the value of the dollar for the day you bought it versus today.
Second is a question: Do you expect everything you own to retain it's original value?
I am having a great deal of difficulty finding any empathy for you.
