Unfortunately that's just how it works. People see it's a 10/22 and don't see the value of all the custom parts you added to it. Same as when you see a custom Glock on here. Nobody wants to buy a $600+ Glock even if it has a fancy trigger, upgraded barrel, and Trijicon sights.Funny, I buy 10/22 parts to build up a fancy azz raffle that will shoot gnats off a dog's pecker and I end up forking over $1,400 or $1,500 by the time I put a scope on it. Then, when I "test the waters" of the River Ruger to see what it's worth, the value is around $450 - $500.
So for me, it's always "heavy in YOUR favor"! Sumthin' ain't raht, here!
Example: you list a Glock. I offer in trade a Hi-Point. Heaviness is in your favor.does it mean ''heavy in my favor''? You have a firearm you post as worth $600 but want a trade value of $800 or trade must be ''heavy in my favor''. Is it worth $600 or $800? What does weight have to do with it? Soon as I see ''heavy in my favor'' I'm out don't care what it is.
Ok rant over, let the mud slingin' begin.
Depends on how many bodies are on that proven killer Hi-Point...Example: you list a Glock. I offer in trade a Hi-Point. Heaviness is in your favor.
Persuade your prospective buyer by explaining that a 10/22 is now considered by some to be an assault rifle. That should add at least double the value.Funny, I buy 10/22 parts to build up a fancy azz raffle that will shoot gnats off a dog's pecker and I end up forking over $1,400 or $1,500 by the time I put a scope on it.

The time I'd say it makes sense is say you have a new AR15 that retails for $500. Well it's worth $500 (+tax/shipping really) but no one is likely to pay you that (since they can order/buy one themselves for that price). So maybe you'd be willing to sell it for $400 cash or willing to trade it for another same value firearm ($500 TV).Preaching in the pasture. I never understood how or why people list a trade value that's more than the cash value price. Value is value.
The answer to this problem is stop wasting money trying to buy skill, training and good practice is where it's at. You can have a stupid accurate 10/22 for not much money. Burning $1500 on a custom 22LR semiauto and expecting to get your money back out of it is insanity.Funny, I buy 10/22 parts to build up a fancy azz raffle that will shoot gnats off a dog's pecker and I end up forking over $1,400 or $1,500 by the time I put a scope on it.

Truthfully, or at least in my opinion, custom is always a risk. You may put $600 worth of custom parts on a gun and it may worth that add on to you. But unless my tastes are like yours, I may not be inclined to value the gun the same as you. Often I buy a gun and set it up for me. I understand that many will not like it as much as me and so I take a lot of those parts back off before I trade or sell it unless the seller specifically asks for them or I have no other gun that those parts could be used on.Unfortunately that's just how it works.

I was thiiis close to commenting that he did a great job incorporating every ODT posting pet peeve into one post.I think that ad had " Testing the waters " & " Heavily in my favor " & "Rare" & "One of a kind" & " Custom" all listed
