I know a guy that is looking into selling his Glock 22 gen 3 .40 cal pistol in near mint condition. He has the original hard case with two magazines and 100 rounds of ammo (not sure of brand). It also has the night sites. He is asking $500 for this. Not knowing much about Glock resale value; what would you guys think of this price if offered to you?
It's on the higher end of resale value but it's fair. Check armslist.com for accurate "going rates" offer him 450, any firearm store wouldn't give him more than 350. was it properly cleaned after firing? How many rounds through it?
Yeah 500 is about right considering the 100 dollar sight upgrade and 40 dollars or so worth of Ammo, but you can have a brand new g19 gen 3 for about 500 so tough choice.
Thanks for the input. I decided to pass on the offer and will look for something else. The guy wouldn’t come off his price and I really want a 9mm. that G19 does look nice though. I really wasn’t hunting down something to buy right now, just the offer came up so I thought I would look into it
The guy called me back and offered 450. Offered back 425 cash and he took it. Threw in a holster too. For everything included I thought it was a decent deal. And I got a nice gun. That was after seeing the gun stripped down and seen minimal ware.
For many Glocks you can buy an aftermarket 9mm barrel from Wolf that fits the slide of your new to you 40 cal. I believe you need to have a 9mm magazine also. These work well and allow you to have both calibers and shoot the more economical 9s.
That price would have tempted me too. You did well.
As for the Wolf barrels and converting to 9mm from .40, there are very mixed results when doing this. Wolf's tolerances are supposed to be within spec but Glock's tolerances have a range of specs too. If the 2 specs don't match closely enough you will have problems ranging from reliability issues to complete failure of original parts.
There is also the ejector issue between the 2 calibers but that seems to be unique for every gun.
Yea, it was too tempting to pass up. That barrel conversion looks pretty interesting. I did some research on it and is fairly inexpensive and easy to convert. Jury is still out on long term function but would be something nice to have if I want to shoot both rounds. Not something I will buy right away but definitely something to keep in mind. Hoping to get out one day this week to put in through the paces.
Cant tell from the pics but has a little bit of holster wear on the trigger finger side but other than that it looks great. Not enough to pass on the gun. Slide and barrel look clean and minimal shots through it. Holster is a small quick release on the hip.

The night sights was the real wild card in the value not knowing what kind they were, prices vary on them, you definitely did good at 425, I bought a Gen3 22 a few years back at a local shop, gun was used but possibly unfired, just a standard Gen3 and I paid 425+ tax for it then.
I prefer 40 over 9 plus it is much easier to find ammo.
