Buy recommendations Resale on silver pigeons

Here’s the thing: I’m a buy once cry once type of guy and don’t like holding cheap guns I won’t use.
I want to get into trap and am looking at getting a silver pigeon… I don’t know how committed i would be to the sport so I was wondering how easy it is to sell these guns later?
I might just keep it because it’s so pretty but just curious how easy it would be to get rid of if I did need to

so I was wondering how easy it is to sell these guns later?

There's currently 2 full pages of ad's for Silver Pigeons on Gunpost at the time of this comment. A lot from July alone and several from June as well as one from May.

I'm not too familiar with this discipline or firearm, but if there's that many sitting around not getting sold. it generally lands into either a) not a lot of interest or b) people asking for way too much for their used firearm.

I'd argue a lot of people selling their firearms are buyers remorse trying to recoup like 90% of what they paid for it and think saving people the tax is a good deal.

They hold their value. But they're also the entry level gun for reliable over under.

You probably see a lot of used because the guys that bought them have since upgraded to something better.
