Modified equipment...


I want feedback on buying/selling modified equipment. Do think mods devalue gear or add value in some cases? Don't you think you're better off leaving a piece of gear stock as it came from the factory and just upgrading to a better component altogether??

You will never get your money out of mods to equipment on resale--NEVER. Unless you absolutely LOVE the piece of equipment, and are committed to keeping it long-term, paying for mods is a BAD BAD BAD idea. And if you try to do your own mods, then congratulations--you've just married that piece of kit.

I won't touch a modded piece of gear w/a ten-foot pole, UNLESS the mod is done by the manufacturer/designer himself. HelloMusic is dead-nuts correct.
