I'm fortunate enough to feel that my limited (yet extreme to the unwashed) accumulation of airguns are essential tools that I won't part with until I am done shooting. Hopefully, I won't be around to see it.

Separation anxiety 😁
- Thread starter Scroooface
- Start date
I've never sold a airgun but have sold a dirt bike to buy one and yes, I do miss it even though I never rode it in the last 4 years.

I have bought and sold hundreds I would guess. My theory is, they come they go. No regrets.

Better you should ask Does anyone NOT get separation anxiety. I think we ALL get more attached to our guns than we realize (or care to admit).

I'd had it since 1996 and had done a lot of performance work on it. It was a very fast bike but I'm 71 now and not to far from 72 and just ride my old 83 XR500r that I dual sported back in 91. I had a lot of off road miles on that KTM250.

I think quite a few have separation anxiety; Just look at the used gun forums and you'll find many selling used for the same price as new....HaHaHa
I have never sold any guns however, I have gifted a few to family members.

I'll tell ya about REAL separation anxiety. Mine is so bad that I have a hard time leaving home even for a couple of days to visit my daughter and grandkids up north. My wife has booked us to fly back east for two bloody weeks in May, and I am not happy about being away from my airguns for that long. My guts are in a turmoil thinking about it. I'm gonna be bored stiff the whole stinkin' time.

Being a different kind of cat, I think of my purchases as a "rent" on my airguns so selling them is no big deal and even giving them away from time to time is OK with me too.
I do have a few guns that I really like, they compliment me as a shooter and give me what I need to connect with a pest or bullseye. Cheap or expensive, I keep those.
I do need to cull the herd some though, I've got half a dozen guns sitting that I no longer love and they need to mosey on to a new home.

Had some former co-workers over today for dinner and drinks. We had a little airgun competition. My friend who now lives in North Carolina mentioned he was struggling to put the lights out on some ground hogs with his 177. I showed him my semi-retired Gamo Viper 22 that was sighted in with a BSA 3-9x40mmAO scope at 25Yds and he tried a few shots with Red Fires. The deal was done and it was GONE just like that. I was sitting here now going through the forum and had a pang of separation anxiety!
