One thing people don’t understand is when you personalize something, especially like this, you’ll never get out of it what you put into it

[@cleancutlawnservice1]

I am a car salesman and I will agree with that 100%. Even something small like rims and tires on a vehicle you will get ZERO more dollars for when it comes time to sell. As a matter of fact I cannot name how many times we have taken a trade in with rims and then were asked to replace them with factory setup before they would buy. You want value? Keep it original, take it to the dealership you bought it from for all maintenance and repairs and keep records with vehicle and keep miles low. That's all.

[@BlueLineChop]

free america yep. Same goes for classic cars. The more you “G” em out, no matter how much you spend on the rims or chrome or whatever, value goes down

If you're into customizations, make sure it's something you can keep forever because if you decide to sell it will lose value. Customizations on any vehicle will lower value since not everyone likes the same customs. My favorite customs won't be the same as the next guy's favorite customs. So if you custom a vehicle and plan on selling it later on, make sure you turn it back to stock so you'll get more money back from it.

130 was a fast bike in the 60's. Well over 200 is a fast bike now. I purposely rusted it, this is very highly skilled work? You don't weld things like motorcycle chain or valve springs. These are high alloy steels and they are not designed to be welded. This guy is just lucky he hasn't demasculated himself yet. (this isn't a real word). Most of the welds I can see do not even pass visual inspection, what they tell me is that he really just doesn't know how to weld. I would put his labor cost at $0. They wouldn't even let this guy into the the shop at places I have worked. BTW guys if you run into anything made out of rebar it is NOT weldable either. There is rebar that is weldable but it is very very rare.

Guys I need to point out to you that custom doesn't always mean devalued and it's even been shown here on this show. I just finished watching another pawn stars bike clip where he bought a frame for 3,000, spent 15,000 at Dannys to build, only for it to then be appraised by them to be valued around 25-30k. Your arguments about custom making things cheaper afterwards don't hold up, but obviously this is a pawn shop where they need to make money. At first glance I was thinking Corey would offer 3500 for this one looking to sell it right around what the expert valued it at not because its only worth so little, but because these are instant cash offers that the seller already knows he'll get the least amount possible for an item
