My LGS offered me twice what I paid for my 553P LB and I am thinking about letting it go.  Its 1 of 3 LBs in the FDE configuration, if that makes a difference.

Things to consider:

1. Its a quick profit
2. Its an invetment pistol and will only go up in value.
3. Its damn near impooisble to get another one and certainly not in FDE.

Thoughts?

If a gunshop is offering you an amount it is because they believe they can make a much larger profit off it.

Sell it yourself and put all the profit in your pocket...

If it was mine I'd keep it...

They have a customer willing to pay them more than your double.

You all bring up the very valid point that is in the back of my mind.   Much appreciated.

Id sell it. Theyre still bringing in more 553LBs. And FDE paint.. you can always apply that yourself. Id sell it and buy a 553lb and a 550 kit. Might as well turn one gun into two!

Not in Ilaflon

Personally, I feel like they didn't paint enough of the gun FDE so it looks kinda odd and not sure it would be a collector piece. I would've preferred a stamped steel lower and painted FDE like the upper & gas block.

I agree.  The entire thing should have been done similar to what Blum does over in CH.  The 1/2 n 1/2 just looks different.
