Value of used Glock??

[WheelinJR]

Glock 17 - 9mm

100-120 rounds thru it, sounds like its 2-3 years old. has spent most of its time boxed up (apparently his wife hates guns and he hasnt taken it out of the box in 2 years)

Also said he has about 140 rounds of ammo to include.

List of included
1. Pistol
2. Tru-night sights
3. 17 round clip
4. 17 round clip
5. 10 round clip
6. plastic holster
7. hard case
8. 140 rounds of ammo

What you boys think?

Sounds like the piece is in great shape. How much is he asking for it?

 

[WheelinJR]

Well, he's trying to wheel and deal me into a trade, thats why I am probing for value on it.

The average price for a 17 with a couple of mags here:
http://www.gunsamerica.com/Search.htm?OG=0&T=glock%2017&AS=60&LF=0&OI=0&LTID=CL,A,AB,BA&AC=&MN=0&MX=0&F=
is seems to be mid 400 to low 500.
Searching in www.gunbroker.com gives slightly lower prices. sort of.
I wouldn't value the ammo, plastic holster, case or the sights for much. Others may argue but it's kind of like an XJ with mods, people don't assign value as the sum of the parts prices.

What has he mentioned as a price?

 

[johnnyc]

I have a couple of Glocks. I would say $500. Retail is almost $600, and it sounds like it's hardly been used.

You should go over to www.glocktalk.com and ask there.

What has he mentioned as a price?

He wants to trade me my ECTED diff, which retails at $569.95. I am trying to assess if its worth it. I am ok with taking a loss somewhat but not too much. I am asking $515 for the diff (dana30 - new in box)

 

[aparke4]

thats not a bad trade - maybe the diff plus like 75-100 bucks? that sounds a little better

 

[PornstaR]

Its actually a good deal on your part, but then again i hate glocks, Ill stick with my Sig, HK, Ruger and S&W

 

[WheelinJR]

Everywhere I've been looking says new ones run $500ish, one guy said topglock.com has them for $470...sooo....

Tell him I'll trade him an ARB for it straight across.

Glocks suck! More accidental dicharges with Glocks than any firearm in police history. Dont keep one in the chamber or you may be the next victim.
This a fine weapon if you need one on your side ready to go in a second but they have a reputation for going off "due to user error" that makes it a poor handgun for an induvidual. Go to a gun shop and have them lay out all pistols in the quality and price range you would consider. Pick each one up and natually point it to a target. Line up the sites after you point it and see which one comes closest.This will tell you which one natually fits your hand the best. It may be the glock. For me It was a USP HK but it happened to fit my natuall grip best so thats what I bought. If a cheap gun fits better buy it. Too manny get cought up in brands and never consider fit. I would only consider a glock if it fits your hand better than all the rest and don't keep one in the chamber.

New Glocks in my area are going for around $470. Check to see what they go for in your area. I'd have him kick in a little extra if it were me, but if you're happy with the trade, go for it.

 

[WheelinJR]

It turns out to be a second gen 1996.

Gonna go look at it now.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Maybe the trigger safety isn't the ultimate answer or a better mouse trap.

All that shows me is that Glocks are popular and DC cops aren't trainable.

Excellent find.

Your trigger safety comment is utter bullshit. Safeties aren't meant to keep dipshits from pulling triggers, they're meant to keep firearms from going off when dropped. The only 'safety' is the guy wielding the firearm.

All that shows me,is if you don't want to get splashed be careful where you pee.
Don't get your shorts in a knot, just one of my not so funny funnies.
After watching a guy blow his knee cap off with a 1911, I also became convinced, no matter how many safeties a weapon has the guy behind the gun is the only one that really counts.
One reason I favor my HK P7 the squeeze cocker makes a pretty good safety and also makes the gun single action.

You'll never regret silence. :shhh:
