Baileyj925 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I was under the impression that firearms generally held their value. Especially if in good shape and with very few rounds through them. I took one of my $1200 1911's in to see what I could do to trade into a HK or Sig. Found out that a Kimber CDP Pro II is worth less than a used Glock. I hate that. Edited September 27, 2011 by Baileyj925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 If you are trying to do a trade at a gunshop, yeah, they are gonna add their profit. Sell it out right and buy the gun you want with the proceeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Try selling a home right now-makes me wanna vomit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopgun Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Baily, you don't have enough posts to list here so I would strongly suggest Gunbroker.com. Do a search there and you will get a pretty good idea of what is selling for what. Keep in mind shipping costs on a handgun will run $75 and up since you MUST send by next day air. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowrider Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Try selling a home right now-makes me wanna vomit... I hear you. I just sold a home, after expenses and commission I banked about 25K less than what I could have 2 years ago. I can only imagine how bad it is out where you are. O/P, I'll trade you brand new Glocks all day long for Kimbers. Heck, I'd even do M&Ps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
