Purchase Opinion

I have an opportunity to purchase four NIB Browning Mod 65, 218 Bee with consecutive numbers.
The firm price is $3600.
I really have no interest in the rifles. Would only purchase them for resale.
Really wonder if I could make any money on the deal.
Would appreciate your comments.
Thanks, 11thcanopy

Personally, I never buy things for resale that I don't have at least a passing interest in. It softens the blow if no one buys it.
The asking price is pretty close to the real market value of these rifles, if sold individually. However, few modern guns bring any premium for consecutive numbers. And, 218 Bee is a relatively obscure caliber, limiting the saleability in the future.
I don't know, but it seems to me like the only one who will make any money off these guns is the guy trying to get $3,600 for them.

If you're buying them for an investment I would say no. If you're buying them for You, you may come out on top somewhere down the road. But, not as much as if you stuck your money in a marketing plan designed to make money. I like the .218 Bee and would have a lot of fun with it. But, as pointed out spending a grand on a 'shooter' is a little hard to justify. -good luck
Believe I will pass on the deal.
Once again, thanks...
