This is a very interesting thread and the responses are all excellent. Thank You! I hope it continues a little longer. I might also clear up my reason for asking what I did. I was not asking for the purpose of collecting for profit. I probably didn't make myself clear, but I was trying to get a feel for whether prices are high now so I could theoretically put off acquiring certain inflated price models until later [when I am out of University and prices have hopefully stabilized]. Especially if the prices are unusually high now. I know the timing and buying of specific models is almost impossible. My father has always said "You make any money on a gun when you buy it at a good price". I appreciate and respect all your opinions and will consider them carefully.
