I was wondering if anyone could give me a guestimate on my trade-in value for my XD9. I went to a local shop where I got the XD for $550 in November brand spanking new and they offered me $300. I think that seems a bit low, so I didn't trade it in. XD9 Service model with night sights. I have put less than 100 rounds through the gun.
I am sure you can get a little more money for it. Once the dealer purchases your XD9, they will turn around and sell it for around 425-450 dollars (that just my guess, BTW). I do have to ask. Why do you want to sell it? Is the recession rearing it's ugly head in your wallet?
Thanks for the information. No, the recession isn't hurting me too bad (yet). I want to get either a H&K P2000SK, P2000, or a USP Compact. I like having an external hammer and the H&K line a lot.
Gun stores are in the business of making money and not pleasing the public. You will do much better selling to a private party. Remember, a firearm's value depends on whether you are buying or selling and how much you need the money.
