Sold a few guns I should have never parted with...worth three to four times the money now...generally good firearms appreciate in value.

Instruments and music equipment? 99% of the stuff depreciates and better can be bought for cheaper.

That said, a handmade LaPlant F5 mandolin and a Kennedy OM guitar that I own...worth much more than I paid and are going to my son who plays.
