Jokes on everyone else. My collection of hundreds of Field Tested P250 Sand Dunes skyrocketed in value.

Edit: After fees and taxes, I more than doubled my initial investment.

Haha so glad I sold two of the knives I got with money from my first job eight years ago to buy a steam deck OLED earlier this year
