Even of the lower is mid or even low priced like Anderson (good as Colt but not as much resale price in the future) and say...look, it has a $15.00 magpull grip. They paid $9 for it because it was a blem but it retails for $25. so it has to be worth $32,000.00 right? I remember when people were filling the engraving in used Spikes lowers with fingernail polish or crayon and selling them for $250.00 and they were like...Ya, this is the new limited edition with the spider on it, you better buy this one because they don't male them anymore.If you have a rifle that has mixed parts it is not custom. People buy guns and take uppers, bolt carrier groups, handguards and buttstocks off and sale them because they don't want them or they are crap. People buy those parts for (hopefully) a reduced price and put a gun together and (hopefully) sell it for more than they put into it.I was trying to sell a lower once and thus guy was like...well, maybe if it was a complete gun then he wanted me to build it for him and put what he wanted on it then he lowered the price on me. I ended up basically doing all that work building the gun for him for free and when it was all over I lost money. It was like I broke free on the parts, put them on the gun for free and just gave him the lower.</blockquote>
