Default Re: what would you give

Here's how to calculate - I use it all the time when considering the purchase or sale of something...

Take the cost of everything you have on your gun (what you paid for it) then multiply by .60 percent. That's what you can start asking for a used spyder, even if it's one day old and just shot once. However, in reality, you'll find you can't even get that. It's like a car - it loses 20 percent value just by driving it off the car lot...

I have a T1 that's up'd like crazy, is mad fast, accurate, looks great and is just an awesome gun. All told, probably more than 700.00 in it, yet I can't seem to sell it for 300.00. That ought to tell you something right there!

Personally, I blame the fact that people are too eager to sell/trade off their equipment for very little of what they paid, which causes an influx of the product on the market and the price of things like guns and parts to drop because they aren't very difficult to find.

Yea it will be cheaper for you to keep you stuff. Dont sell it and just buy used, rip someone else off, just dont get your self ripped.

ya vike has a very good point. and if i had the money id pick up that t1 as my backup.but i dont have any$$$ i say if your going to try to sell it, sell it locally to some newb who doessnt know a lot, but dont rip him off give him a fair price.
