This is the best post in this thread. Firearms ARE similar to cars,bikes,ATVs etc as far as accessories go. Whatever you add to them is something that YOU wanted and the next owner may not. I'll say it again. Too many times we went and looked at someone's $1000.00 Malibu sled and they would show and tell about all the stereo **** and big ugly wheels and how much they paid for them. I would always cut them off and say " Well do you have the original factory parts? Cause we really don't want this other ****."
I've seen that over and over in cars/trucks and a few times with bikes. And the Harley guys really get upset about you not appreciating their tacky bolt on goodies. But yeah you were right. About 50 cents on the dollar is probably the most used accessories of ANY kind are worth. Hell I told one guy to take his same stereo equipment from his car and see what a pawn shop would offer. These days most shops don't want it at all.
Lately I've seen pistols here and on Armslist $50.00/$100.00 higher than new retail. The ONLY way that works out is a good bit of ammo and mags. Same way with AKs. And let's not even get started on ARs.
