Why would you expect to? I don't know of anything you can buy, use for a while, and then expect to sell it for what you paid for it. It is not a loss, it is just the cost of the enjoyment you got out of it. My motorcycle is worth $2000 less than I paid for it, and that does not include the cost of the gas, tires, and maintenance. I don't care because I have derived so much pleasure from it. Same thing with most of the brand new guns I have bought. I don't understand why people think Garands should be different.
