First off, thank you. This thread is golden, i had thought that weapons maintained 90% value depending on upgrades, This is a great learning curve.
So seller expectaion vs actual value
- custom paint jobs, seller £what they paid for it vs -10%
- 'weathering' -+0% (i think i have seen an ak on prefired that wanted +10% for 'authentic Soviet' look) vs -10-20% depending on severity
- extras, no value lost (ever) vs should be seen as gifts/sweeteners
There have been a couple of bargins that i have not been quick enough or close enough to (TM G36 £80 and G&G firehawk £70). These i would grab next time. Other than that i think new is the better way for 1st or 2nd weapons. Thoughts?
