My only regrets are for the ones I didn't buy...
No, it's a learning mechanism.Hindsight....... Really messes with the brain.
What are the guns that you regret letting get away for whatever reason?
I've only gotten rid of two guns. Both revolvers. The first one was my first handgun. An old Military and Police Smith .38 Special who I sold cheaply to my father who traded it for something(Maybe my Smith 19). The other was my father's Charter Arms .357. I gave it to my fiance thinking it would stay in the family. Wrong, she broke it off. I want both of 'em back.
ETA - I do need to thin the herd but I'm a hoarder.
It would certainly. I pretty much have been buying since I was 15 years old and I'm just a little older than you. I've just slowed it way down now to a trickle. There really isn't much I want anymore. I have been slowly selling off some of my collection. I doubt I will sell the long guns simply because it's a pain to ship them.Not even getting into Any guns until age 52, back in '07.
Shooting a .22 a few times until that age made it a Very different "ballgame".
Yeah, I bought another one years after but it wasn't the same.Ouch! I bought one many years ago as a police turn-in and what a gun! That's one I hope to never sell!

I let many go starting around 2005 cause life happened.
I had to sell a Marlin 1894CS in 357 magnum which kills me to this day. If I knew it would be so hard to replace, and so expensive now, I'd have hung on to it.
