When you separate everything and sell it separately and add it all up, you can then realize the price that you wanted in the first place. And as has been said in previous posts: it is my gun, I own it, and I can do with it what I want! Thanks for letting me vent...
Yeah, yeah, you can do what you want with your guns, but...

We all know that selling guns with the original grips and box and tools removed and sold separately will bring a higher price -- in some cases a much higher price -- than selling the gun and the grips and box and tools together.

Take the Colt factory wood grips off a Python and you can sell them separately for $200 or more. But the Python, with a set of Pachmayrs installed, will not be worth $200 less than it was with the original grips.

And you're not the one venting here...I am! :-)
