[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1823351, member: 33622"] Some people just like the Dance. Some builders supply everything in the build, you pay half down and wait, then maybe wait some more. Expectations can change in 6 mos. I can walk out the door for a cheeseburger and come home hungry but I now have a new pickup. As for price on sales, your custom gun was built to your liking, not mine, I may want your barreled action but your stock choice does little for me, I'm not paying much for it because now I need to sell it and rebuy. Could be you altered your choice of barrel contours, got away from your norm and now the configuration or dynamics have changed and not to your liking. Maybe same with an action choice, or a stock choice. I'd imagine veterans of custom builds should be more stable by averages, I look back at my first 5 or 6 builds and chuckle at myself, but at the time I did not know any better. I have a story of a build where I bought a used black McMillan hunter adj stock, inlet or barrel channel was not correct. I paid to refill it, turn it into a flat top, had it re-milled, bedded, and custom paint it. I was into it for 1800 when I could have just bought new for 650 or less. I shot that *** for 5 mos before restocking it, I just left it at my gunsmiths after getting a new stock and never looked back hoping it was a learning experience. [/QUOTE]
