What do you do, and why? I once put a rifle up for sale at a local gun store, and when I told the guy the value of the scope, he poo pooed it, and said you never consider the value of the scope on the gun when you're pricing a rifle for resale. Since I'm considering auctioning a rifle, I thought I'd check with you folks to see if you agree with that. Seems wrong to me. If that's true, however, it seems like you should sell the scope separately.
