I don't keep guns I don't like or use. But if you are careful when you buy, you shouldn't lose much if any money.

Not really, although I did sell my Remington 870 WMMag(LH) I've owned for 20 years just last week for $50 less than I paid for it.

In my experience a 20 year old gun should sell for MORE than I paid for it. A Wingmaster sells for about $800 new today. They were around $400 in the 1990's. Selling one to someone at $500 would be a bargain for both the buyer and seller.

IF I sell them, I've typically held them long enough to not lose $$$

This is me too. I also tend to buy used, and only at bargain prices. If I don't think I can make a profit on it, I don't buy most of the time. The rare times I've bought new was when I was absloutely certain it would be a gun I'd keep as long as I lived.
