Thoughts on price
 
I am considering selling one of my guns to fund another project. Just not sure what I should ask for it.

Springfield Armory XD 9mm 5" Tactical
Competition action job from the custom shop (4 pound trigger)
2 15 shot mags
Hard case
SA cable lock

Gun has had less than 500 rounds through it. The action job runs $195 from the custom shop. Is $600 a reasonable starting point? You can buy a new tactical for $500 locally, that includes the XD gear. But most shooters dislike the gear and don't use anyway. Am I in the right ballpark? Thanks for any input.

I was thinking $600 before I finished reading everything, so I would probably start around $650 or so.

It would be a good deal for someone specifically looking for a 9 and wanting an action job on it. Otherwise, you aren't going to be able to get much more for it than a regular used XD. It sure does help the gun sell...but most people will not pay more money for it, unless they want it in the first place.

Sight unseen, $600 is on the high side of fair. I would submit that $525-550 might help it move. 600 does give you some wiggle room...and you can always come down. Heck, I think thats about right. However, if you can't find someone who wants the action job....you may end up letting it go for 450 or keeping it.

I would say about $125-$175. All I'm waiting on is ifo to send ya the money to.

Unless you've got documentaion on the action job that's not going to add alot and as a used gun, many won't pay much extra for it. As much asa seller wants to get all he can fora used gunbecause he thinks is a basket of money, many times it's over priced. Think realistically what YOU would pay for it and take off a bit more.

I'd say 425-450. Like others said, unless someone is specifically wanting the action job, etc, you won't get $600 for it.

Might want to try to sell it at xdtalk classifieds

Thanks for the input guys. Like I said, I didn't know if I was in the right ballpark or not.

Yes, I do have the proper documentation from the custom shop. And I agree, the only way someone would pay the extra, is if they wanted it that way.

A guy I shoot on leagues with is interested in it. I'll see what he thinks of it. I'm not trying to rape anyone, just come up with a fair price for both parties involved.
