Calif Mini Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi all: I just heard of this forum and was wondering if anyone knows the value of a new California legal STI 2011 frame registered prior to the drop test ban. Frame kit only-new- unused still in the box. No ramp cut. With black grip. Have considered selling it but don't know the value. Thanks, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) i've heard as high as $800 for STI kits in kali. Finding someone to buy it for that price will be the easy/hard part along with the transaction having to be a PPT transfer. I picked up 2 for $900 in 2005.

With that item you have there, new and unused, you could probably get $800 no problem. I traded an $850 M&P certificate for a frame/grip just last year and didn't feel too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calif Mini Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks for all the responses. Yea...........California............it's a trip when it comes to guns compared to other states (so I have heard) but I was born and raised here so really do not know about the better places to shoot or.............?? I do know I like the climate...........actually spoiled is more like it and am afraid to venture very far. I had heard from the LA area dealer I purchased this from that it could bring $850 to $1000 but that was a guess and the real market is set by the buyer at the time of sale. Just like anything else. So I am thankful to all who chimed in. Thanks again, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Ed, I'll say this about high dollars and STI frames. I brought a bunch back a couple of years ago and sold them off to friends that "bought in" at cost+$50. Bascially, the $50 paid for the transfer fees both in the state I was living and the declaration fee in California. The left overs I sold for somewhere around cost plus $50-100. I wasn't in it for the money as it's better to help a shooter than charge something just because we can. I've 2 or 3 (can't remember) frames in the safe now and while 1 of them is for a future project, the others are for those that want to get in to our sports and (for whatever reason) do not want to buy a Bar Sto (as they're the exact same thing) or SV. I guess all I'm suggesting is instead of looking to cash in on a neighbor's pain, maybe breaking even or cost plus 2 tanks of gas isn't a bad way of taking it either. Maybe I'm getting kindler and gentler in my age. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
