Glock Resale

[Wheelie]

I've noticed used Glocks can sell for $20 less than new or slightly more than that, other brands seem to depreciate allot even if they have only been shot 20 rounds "Sig Saur", LCP seems to resale well, do used Glock buyers just want that gun because it's not in their name? Or is it like a used Honda vs new? I wanted a Glock 27 so I paid the extra $50 for new rather than buying used. I wouldn't want to find out a used gun may be wanted lol

[Saltgrass Mikerr]

Good luck on your question. I have never owned a Glock.

I"ve seen several used ones on here listed for more than the new price. But sometimes they come with holsters and extra mags. Just do the research.

Here's new price on a 27:

But then again, if you figure in sales tax and/or shipping it may be cheaper to buy "like new"

Did the research, that's why I decided to go new, now if bare bows had a Glock resale value that would be nice.

Like Chew said, most come with a few extra's. My guess is that most have not been shot a whole lot and you get the benefit of not having a paper trail from you to the gun.

Also some may have after market night sights which can run $100. Some models were/are also in short supply.

Then again, there are also price gougers who think we are all idiots and can't google search "retail price Glock 23".

If I could find a used like new G30s I would consider a $550 buy. I can't find one, don't want to wait and if a truck only has 23,000 miles on it when I buy it, I get a warrant period to try to break it.

Oh, and I am a .45 cal kinda guy too. I want to kill the spirit as well as the body.

The gun I was wanting was out of stock a few times but not for long, just kept checking stock. No doubt it's a little difficult to find some but their not out long.

TBH'ers are hoodies? Yikes!

TBH'ers are hoodies? Yikes!

I don't know about that...well, I know there are a few but I was answering why someone would pay as much as they do for used glunks

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

What about a Colt 45 1911? Those are good, right.

[Bilbo]

Most are overpriced. I know where to find quite a few used ones in the $460 range.

I had the same question not too long ago: http://discussions.texasbowhunter.co...d.php?t=381257

Simple answer to why used glocks are pricey right now... I tend to agree with Bowtecmike:

my theory is that a lot of the people who went nuts during this past craze and bought , are starting to see it die back down. They are seeing AR's on shelves and ammo coming back, so they are trying to unload the stuff they bought and make a few bucks. Only the Glocks never got scarce, or went up like they thought, but they still want to make a little on their planned investment.

Panic buying

I don't buy the add-on thoughts... It's been known for years in the gun world to expect half to no return on any add-on that you put on a firearm.. The same still rings true.

[Evictor]

supply and demand, but really depends on where you are getting your pricing.
Before the madness local gun shops varied on the same gun by as much as $130 between shops right down the street from each other.
Academy and Bass Proshops are generally high compared to gun show pricing which the high volume dealers are selling for $25-$40 markup to make the money in volume. Some of the gun show dealers double dip by removing extra mags from new guns say a G19 G4 comes with 3 from the factory, the dealer may remove one mag and sell it on the side and sell the pistol as new with only 2 mags
