Hi all, I am a Glock fan. Not a fanboy per say, but a Glock fan none the less and have owned several models over the years.
Where do you guys value these things? I have friends out west that say anything over 500 is a rip, have some friends just a bit north that say any Glock for 500 will sell within an hour. Here around the panhandle I have seen them everywhere. I did manage to sell a couple for 500-525 but were bought new by me and truly had about 50 9mm rounds thur each, and had trijicon sights on both. One was a gen3 and the other a gen4.
Not gonna plunge into the Gen5 just yet. I can blue label at Jimmy's and like the Gen4 Glocks better than the 5 still.
But anyway, why are some Glocks with minimal upgrades going for north of 900? Is a Zev trigger, cerakote and stipppling that worth it? Like I said I am just asking cause I do not know. I am not a Glock fan enough to pay that much money for one. Id rather start stock and upgrade to my likes. Even If I would race gun it. Installing the trigger, sights, magwell, barrel fitting, even simple stippling and refinish are things I would do myself. I priced out parts to race gun a G19 and after gutting the internals, adding the above I was still in the 6-700 threshold. And that was with pretty much every part replaced with race gun parts, but the work done myself.
So I get it when a souped up Glock is going for 6-700 based on upgrades. But is there really a 1200 dollar Glock? Even the custom builder built Glocks do not seem to go that high and theirs look like works of art. Around here someone spray cans the slide and frame, puts a zev trigger and ask over 1k for it. Whether they are getting that I do not know.
Anyway just wondering why the Glock market here seems so high, and if you guys would consider buying a Glock for over 1k. Not insulting anyway, everyone pays for what they see value in. I surely have overpaid for items just because I wanted it.
I also understand people tend to price high to leave room to haggle. But sometimes its like whoa man that is a super high starting price.
Anyhow just wondering, not intending to start a market value, and demographic, and poly vs steel, caliber etc etc war, just a simple question. Would anyone here pay over 1k for a Glock?
