Engraving the value out of a gun?

A friend of mine has a Kimber .45acp 1911 style "Eclipse" engraved with Friends of the Nra Gun of the Year. Someone told him the engraving, in this case, actually makes this gun less desirable.
Anyone have an opinion?

I turnd down a fully engraved Gold Cup (at a good price) because it was engraved, and a high quality engraving too. The gun just was too "prissy" or something, didn't look right.
...So yes, in general engraving is a loosing proposition money wise unless the owner is going to keep it forever and it is just for his own pleasure and enjoyment...[;)]

Decorative engraving is a whole different ballgame, as described above.
