Simple, I told her to get all the purses, shoes, misc. decor item, never used cook wear, and all other assorted stuff she has purchased from QVC out. Giver me the receipts to show what she paid for it. Then tell me honestly what she thinks she can sell all the crap for in a garage sale. The only place this kind of stuff can be sold.
Then I showed her the receipts of just a few of my guns, and showed her what I can sell them for now. 2 Yugo SKS rifles. $89.99 and $119.99 plus about $20 shipping. Now around $300 each!!! French MAS 36 $41.00 shipped to my door...Now selling around $150. K31.$119 plus shipping, Now around the $200+ mark. Don't know if I got much past those when she walked away, and I haven't heard a peep from here about my guns since.
Now, if you really want to start adding up the collection, get a C&R FFL, and join the fun!!!
BTW, in what socialist utopia do you live that you have to wait 10 days?
