AUGUST 21, 2010  BATESVILLE, MS

NOW IS THE TIME you need to invest in firearms.   We operated a Gun Shop in Batesville MS from 1984 to 2003, and sold a lot of firearms over the years in Batesville, even financed a few. The people from North MS like to trade and they have some really nice firearms to trade or sell.  I know one Winchester Pre-64 Model 100 358 caliber in 98%, that I would love to get my hands back on.

 With our new president and the economy like it is, now is the time.  When Bill Clinton was in office I made a lot of money in the firearms industry, and now this is a more liberal president, Senate, and House.   Since I've been in the gun business I have seen every firearm go up more than the original purchase price in different cycles, and this is one of those cycles. Most of the time you would want to hold it at least five years, but with a keen eye, and this economy like it is, you will be able to make those quick gain trades more often then you would think. In one quarter (November - January), we've seen items rise to as high as 62.5%, lets see the DOW do that, plus you can hold it and play with it before you turn your profit.  Not all deals are like this and if you don't get the profit your looking for just hang on until the next show, it is not going down, the new Gun Blue Book shows that. I'll give you a BIG example on an investment with a Winchester 42 Deluxe Grade Solid Rib, in last years Blue book it valued at $5,350.00 in 80%, This years Blue Book has the same shotgun in 80% condition valued at $15,000.00.  So with what is at hand, NOW is the time to speculate in the Firearm Collectors Market and if you need help please feel free to contact us.

Now is the time, I'm seeing a lot of nice collector firearms coming out of the closets.  And Gentleman treat him fair right off the bat and no telling what kind of goodies you might get off of today's sellers.  Just remember the "Golden Rule" Treat someone the way you want to be treated.  I'm seeing some nice pieces like the Winchester 101 Pigeon Grade 4 barrel set and a Browning Safari 264 mag. (Left) These can be bought and sold above the book a little if in great shape, also caliber makes a +, % of the value, how many made, the serial number, to where it is located in the periods it was made, & not always earliest.  The military and civilian models do pretty good with before the WWII considered pre-war.  Do your studying it can have a bunch reason and you need to know most of them. Gun Digest is a nice one to get, there is a blue book of gun values that goes a little deeper.     

AK-47 are still priced in the new $500 - $600.00 range for the less known names, $300.00 - $400.00 for a used one.  These are not the most accurate at 500 yards, but are reliable about shooting every time.

Now assault weapons (black guns) are not the only investment out there.  I've traded firearms since I was twenty-one and now I'm forty-six. I remember the first new Browning Bar I sold in my retail store for $425.00 & $395.00 on sale.  Now what do they list for? See my point? And think about the used value. A good clean used Bar from then priced now at $600.00 - $650.00 Rule of thumb!!! On a Browning BAR when you purchase it new, then take it out hunting for five years, "you'll get your money back", sometimes more if you keep it in great shape.  And with gun trading, you can invest as little as $100.00, and as much as what ever you want to spend.  If you need help selling or purchasing firearms in the $500.00 - $100,000.00  market please feel free to contact David Bailey, I've been in the firearm brokering for some time now.  We have helped sale that one little $20,000.00 rifle or help liquidate the family estate.  We also do appraisals for your home insurance.

So my recommendations is come trade at the gun & knife shows or you'll never know what you might miss.

NOW IS THE TIME TO INVEST IN FIREARMS & KNIVES!!
