Doh! Modding vs. Selling


How many times have you modified a piece of gear with new caps, or new wiring, etc. only to find yourself selling it in a couple of months?

Personally I have learned, that except for my DIY work, if I get an itch to mod a piece of gear, I am better of trading it in.

You?

I would never modify anything I owned, as it will ruin the resale value.

I've even found that the work of professional modifiers only gets back about 20-30% on the dollar. Any non-professional DIY work normally decreases the value from a stock unit.

Much better trading it in on something different, more cost effective way to change a system's sound, IMHO.
