I have on a few of occasions bought two or three guns from the same source at the same time but they were sold out of my collection over time.
I would keep the best of the group and sell the others.
I never sold them at a profit because they went to other collectors or people just getting started collecting.
Since no profit was made it could not be considered or conceived as a business.
I'm in to this as fun - hobby and have no desire to profit from it.
It is about the history to me and the sharing of that history.
Now not to say if some one offered me a nice profit I may take it but when
furthering my collection the end goal is the improve said collection and not make money.
I have know a few folks that have bought cases of rifles and kept one or two and sold the rest at a profit and I just don't see how that falls inside the ATF rules.
But their side is, is that they have not violated any laws because they are furthering their collection bla, bla, bla.
Well ok, I guess.
I just don't see it that way.
