I remember wanting a 2011 1911. Other than that? I’ll pass

  ETA the 1911 was my dad's. It was stolen a few years ago and was recovered. A drug dealer was EDCing it.

I'm far too cheap to buy something like this. Also an early millennial.
But those guns remind me of these knives:  Attached File |

Unless it's a gold Deagle in .50AE. I'd definitely pay some extra for that

I doubt I would buy any of those guns when for what is being asked for them I could probably buy two of something else a little less flashy. I buy guns to experience them, mostly at the range, not look at them.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Someone. I have turned every commemorative gun offered for sale to me as the owners asked way more than they were worth. Same here. "It's a limited edition so you'll probably never see another one like it". Commemoratives and the like are surefire way to lose money. |

Yeah, my dad wasn't a gun guy at all. But he once was going to buy a Virginia Military Institute PPK (I think), and wanted to know what I thought about it. "Uh, yeah, it's kinda cool, but you'll never shoot it, and the only people who might want it are other VMI alumni. I'd pass." Didn't get into the "what the hell connection is there between VMI and a PPK" thing, but he never bought it. |

 No way I was gonna do the embellished version II. |

It had the light-colored grips with medallions, which I have replaced with standard double-diamond grips. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Almost $2500 for the Clayton Moore. Good Lord they’re practically giving them away. I would like that stainless lever gun. Strip the crappy wood off of it, put something more suitable on it. Don't know how to get that junk off the receiver. Strange, they could probably sell the hell out of a plain jane (no offense!) version of that gun at ridiculous prices as it is.

A few years ago a shitload of "commemorative" Winchester 94s hit the Swedish market. I guess a collector or dealer sold off his collection.
They all went for incredibly low prices, much cheaper than standard pricing. My buddy bought a John Wayne commemorative 94 for about 70 USD and used it as his deer rifle. So much for collectibility
