Comments by "Steve Valley" (@stevevalley7835) on "What Guns Should I Collect?" video.

  1. Peter Egan wrote a column for Road & Track some 35 years ago on the same topic of collecting, in his case, cars. His inspiration was when a total stranger called him at home one evening demanding to be told which cars to collect. Peter tried to explain, just as Ian does, that you collect what interests you. When I hear a "what do I buy" question about collectables, the asker is either looking for "collectables" that he wants to make a big pile of money off of, or he is trying to impress other people. He obviously doesn't care about the actual item, because, if he did, he would not need to ask the question because he would gravitate toward something specific. If I was going to "collect" something, it would be some of the fake hack jobs, like a couple Ian has reviewed. because I find it amusing what some charlatans try to pass off on the unaware. The problem, of course, is the charlatans don't price their wares like the worthless hack jobs they are.
