alab32 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thinking about selling my .40 M&P. I want to get a Sig P220 SAO after I get rid of this. Not sure if I want to strait up sell it or trade it in for some off my Sig. I hear the gunshows here are pretty awesome to buy sell and trade guns. I may have to check these out too. Anyone have any advice or what not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I used to see what a shop would give me, and split the difference between that and the new price, and sell it to a friend. Goes quick that way. A gun shop won't give you enough, even if buying another. Hara Arena - Goodman gun show or the one at the airport, is where I go to check stuff out.Dayton Hara Arena show dates - DaytonAirport Expo Center show dates - Vandalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have sold every hand gun I was trying to get rid of at a gunshow. Most within 10 mins. You get mobbed when you walk in to a gun show selling a handgun. My advice is go to a show and get the extra money over trading it in. Most shops will only give you 80% of the used market value. So if you can get $425-450 at a gun show for it, a shop will only give ya 80% of that. I sold mt pt-145 for $20 less then I paid for it at a local show. And sold a s&w mp 9mm at a show that was 3 years old for $430 and prob could of got more if I tried harder but I sold it with in the first twenty feet of the door.

chevysoldier Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Buy it from a gun show. Just so it doesn't get registered. That way when the government tries to take away everyones guns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
