Exactly right, I recently traded a 480 Ruger and all of it's accouterments for a 9mm race gun. I was enamored with the 480 at first but then realized it was just a big, heavy hand cannon better suited to the Alaskan back country than the type of shooting I'm doing. The CZ on the other hand is a great happy can gun, fast, easy to shoot and fun. Did I make money on the trade, probably not but I did increase the fun factor substantially.Speaking of value or worth...
At time value or worth does not mean dollar value...but what use the item has for you.
I have at times , traded a firearm that was "worth" more than the one I was getting , simply because I had a better use for the new one , than the traded one.
So...the new one's "worth" , meant more to me than just dollars.
Not the best of ideas if you are trying to trade up so to speak..or working for a retail store.
However...
It can get you something that you want , have a use for and actually use...rather then holding to something that you don't use with the hopes of it being worth dollars.
