I am not a collector. My mindset is shoot what I have, and keep what's practical. I have vacillated about selling my compact shadow line, and came very close last year. Part of me wants to keep it because it's special, and another part wants to sell it and buy something else that I'll shoot without worrying about reducing the value. Fortunately, I'm not forced, so I don't need to make a decision. Today, I keep it. Tomorrow is another day.
To chase a rabbit, I recently bought my first Dan Wesson- a Commander Classic. Now, that's a daily shooter.
