Oh... if we all knew what that next big collectable is going to be...
anylize what makes something collectable...
things we had as a kid...
things we wished we had when we were younger...
things peer pressure forces us to buy...
things hollywood influences us to buy...
of course all of this is only possible once we reach a point that we have spare income to buy these things
cars are a good & easy place to look... Model T's & Model A's used to be high dollar cars, back when people of that age that drove them as a 1st car, or were a teen ager when their parents owned one, or when their high school buddy had one... but once those people died off, those prices dropped, & the 30's cars were worth more... that progression of dieing buyers has progressed to the 50-70's muscle cars bringing top dollar today...
I'd expect guns to do the same... brands can save you a little bit, but it's certain models or configurations that will bring the top dollars
Hollywood... the wild card... cowboy action shooting, fueled by Hollywood movies, has those original guns at premium prices right now... buyers never owned those, their passion is solely driven by those movies...
carefull... the next big movie may just feature an old Toyota Celica, who's driver kills at will with a 25 acp Jennings auto & by the 2nd movie... those $49.00 Jennings will be selling for $490.00
