How To Make Money - As a Teen

Step 11 Sell Moded Nerf Guns

There's a lot of money to be made in nerf guns, mostly in moding them. I've seen a moded nerf gun go for $200 on eBay. The pistol he moded was a $6.00 toy.

Most mods are easy.
1. Take it apart.
2. Remove the air restrictors.
3. Replace the barrel (Maybe).

You can find more in depth instructions using a google search.

The best gun to mod is the NERF Nitefinder. It's cheap($6) and are easy to mod. All the moding equipment is about $10 and that includes a 10 long piece of 1/2 PVC for barrels.

If you do everything right it should shoot around 80 feet. You can easily sell one for $20 on eBay. You're probably thinking that it's only a $4 gain, but now you have all the materials to make about 10 more.

Also, you can always sell homemade nerf darts. They're easy to make and you could probably sell 25 of them for $10.

keep in mind that a clear coat of paint will always make the value go up, nobody likes the stock colors blue and yellow and orange(or recently black, yellow, and orange).

you can also sell kits for a mod you did, and have instructions online so they can make it. id you do stuff like i did on my sniper pistol and use parts from other guns you should be able to make money and give a 30% discount on all the nerf stuff.

that is because you will have pieces left over from other nerf guns you mod, like if you do a side-arm intergreation to a long shot to sell it, you have the fake barrel left over to use in something like my sniper pistol. if you charge about 3.00 for both those pieces you make 6.00 off of the little pistol on the front of the long shot, and a side-arm intergreated long shot with a thing of paint can go for a lot.

try to mod cheaper guns, there is nothing worse then buying a vulcan and breaking it through moding. there goes 40.00, but if you were to break a nitefinder it would not be such a big deal.

i would recommend you start out moding nitefinders and mavericks until you get the hang of moding. then you can try some more extreme mods on other guns.

About that Modding Nerk gun stuff, Id like to add to it. Theres this nerf website, www.nerfhaven.com ,(Im a member there), and thats can be a bassis for your nerf gun modding. That black rifle you have in your picture(Longshot), was modded by someone who lives in my region, and was actually sold for around $1000, possibly over. The supplies would cost around $70-90 to get and the amount of time and skill that is needed to pull something like that off is incredable. If anyone has any questions involving Nerf, PM me and I will answer all that I can. P.S. Some of the older blasters sell for crazy amounts, one rifle goes for $300 minimum, (and that in bad condition) fast if your even able to find it. But a hint is, if you have any old Nerf Blasters, dont mod them, they will go for nearly triple the amount if they are NIB(New in Box), and over double if their in good condition.

[dsman195276]

[Grey_Wolfe]

No problem, not like any of us are perfect. I found it by searching forsaken on the site. Figured it'd be nice to post it so others might find.

[Grey_Wolfe]

Nerfhaven rocks! Never heard of it before checking the notes on your pics. Thanks =SMART=, this will keep me working on things for a long while now.

Thanks a lot for this. I started buying a bunch of the 5 or 6 dollar nerf guns that hold one dart and modding them. I sell them for 2 times their original price. The stefans also sell quite well.

[=SMART=]

Awesome im glad you liked it
