Addicted to the trade as much as shooting?

Yes sir, I understand the struggle well. I have pretty much stopped my obsession w/ buying/trading, but the withdrawals were brutal. As soon as my financial situation improves, I am sure I will start chasing the dragon again. 
ETA: the vast majority of the guns that went through my hands over the past 3-4 years were traded off w/o shooting them.

Yeah I typically enjoy the chase more than anything...but I must admit I haven't felt the urge to do any selling or trading since I got my AK105 clone done...it's been like 2 weeks which has got to be a record
trading and shooting them was the best part..you never know if the trade is going to be the best you ever shot until you shoot it!Yes sir, I understand the struggle well.

that's why we are here!Yeah I have to admit! I am just as addicted to the trade game as much as shooting!! I try to keep a gun just for trade fodder! How about ya'll? Need a 12 step trading program to??
That's what I was afraid of, liking something too well to want to trade it. My goal was to keep trading up until I could trade for a 4 wheeler; which I did. But by then it was in my blood and I couldn't stop. But, now I have what I want, so not doing the trading thing as often.
that is what it is all about....guns in a safe is like an ATM machine in your own house
I love the trade. There are things that "I had to have" only to get and say meh, trade it away.
Its great to be able to own various things short or long term.
There are some that I plan to keep the only possibility is trading for a better version (more correct milsurp etc).
The whole thing is addictive but I love to shoot as well.

I've used the the ability and ease of trading to try out things that interested me, not to collect or accumulate. These days very few things interest me. I'm over the excitement of it all. There's likely a VP9 in my future, but I'm in no hurry to spend money.
My sigs have a little genie that pops out and gives you a rub down every time you shoot them; the sig mags also load themselves
I'll let you try my Scorpion and Nightmare carry 1911's, you may sing a different tune after the rub down
Operator... 
Springers don't come with rub downs
