Thanks for everyone's comments. Rexmeyer said "I wish I had the money you two had..." I can only speak for myself, but "HAD" is indeed the term! Even with diversification & conservative investing, my stock portfolio, which contains 80% of my life earnings, is down over 300K. That is equal to the amount I received after retiring with 26 years at AT & T. My only recourse is to ride this economic disaster out, and maybe in seven to ten years I will recover most of my losses.
Unfortunately I had to part with some other collectables to cover my butt financially for the next couple of years, but was able to shave enough off the proceeds to make the M9 purchases. Several friends have said I ought to dump "those M9 bayonets". Outrageous! As for "wants", how is one to know whom wants what? Sometimes I may run across a duplicate M9 someone on the Forum may be interested in. Is there a place on this Forum where members can list what they are looking for?
