This is an incredible opportunity to own one of twenty only ever produced gold inlaid Glock pistols. These guns were recently imported from Glock in Austria and all bear the Austria proof marks. All will come in their original Glock box, appropriate number of mags and cleaning kit. Each gun was hand engraved by Glocks only master engraver and Gold inlaid. ***CONSEQUTIVE SERIAL NUMBERS ARE AVAILABLE*******
Before people start accusing me of Glock bashing I would think this is ridiculous if it was an XD or M&P as well.
Wow. Question is how many people here would be willing to pay that for that pistol? If I had that much to spend on a gun, it certainly would not be that one.

REAPER4206969 March 8, 2010, 05:40 AM Those have been on various auction sites for years.
ATBackPackin March 8, 2010, 05:44 AM Those have been on various auction sites for years.
I can't imagine why? :D
CajunBass March 8, 2010, 05:49 AM Easy to see why they're one of only twenty.
Glock HAS a master engraver? :confused:
michiganfan March 8, 2010, 05:54 AM Now would this be a BBQ gun. LOL.
EddieNFL March 8, 2010, 08:36 AM I've pretty much given up on Gunbroker. The last time I was there I was looking for a timer. I found the particular model I wanted and the buy now was $199. Sells for $129 direct from the manufacturer.
dom1104 March 8, 2010, 08:44 AM same here. Gunbroker is dead to me.
I buy my stuff thru websites only.
Warhawk83 March 8, 2010, 08:55 AM Crack I believe is the answer you are looking for, they have to be smoking crack. $8,000????
I really doubt Glock has anyone employed as an engraver.
ambidextrous1 March 8, 2010, 09:09 AM I'm reminded of the phrase, "lipstick on a pig"...
AJChenMPH March 8, 2010, 09:18 AM Ow, my eyes!!! :what:
rocinante March 8, 2010, 09:48 AM nice art but definitely doesn't fit the utility character of the pistol.
grimjaw March 8, 2010, 11:37 AM Gunbroker has definitely turned into a bazaar of ridiculousness. Some guy ont there was (and still is) trying to sell a Korth for four figures. SUPER RARE.

gordy March 8, 2010, 12:00 PM I have some legos and gold color crayons. I wonder if I could make some money?
kurt1305 March 8, 2010, 12:11 PM I like the one for $15,000 even better.

The close-ups of the engraving don't even look that good.
ATBackPackin March 8, 2010, 12:18 PM And they are still charging $30 to ship it.:what::what::what:
cskny March 8, 2010, 12:25 PM Actually, someone should ask for a serial number and call glock. If there's "only one master engraver" and 20 of these, they will certainly know all about them, right?
Be interesting to find out if they are actually real, because honestly, they don't make a lot of sense to me.
cottonmouth March 8, 2010, 12:34 PM I'll take it, PM to follow!!!

RonBernert March 8, 2010, 12:38 PM Engraved Glock, gold inlay.. Isn't the Glock crowd the wrong target market for that? Glocks are usually sold to a crowd that shoots the hell out of them.. Kinda like a Leather-upolstered 4 door pickup truck.. errr.. never mind.
MachIVshooter March 8, 2010, 12:44 PM :barf:
The only esthetic appeal Glocks have is their 100% functional, all-business look. That thing is beyond hideous.
WoofersInc March 8, 2010, 02:04 PM And still zero bids. Imagine that..
Fishslayer March 8, 2010, 03:56 PM Thanks a lot. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...:uhoh:
KevinR March 8, 2010, 05:35 PM Does anyone see the gold inlay PAINT on the slide serrations. :what:
swampboy March 8, 2010, 05:40 PM This comes to mind...

HisSoldier March 8, 2010, 08:03 PM Some guy ont there was (and still is) trying to sell a Korth for four figures. SUPER RARE.
I've read that the Korth is made one a one at a time basis. http://www.korthusa.com/pistol_en.htm
What do you do with a gun that costs $10,000? Put it in a safe and hope it will appreciate in value.
captain awesome March 8, 2010, 08:24 PM lol, no bids on any of them. woofers beat me too it, but I was thinking the same thing.
cskny March 8, 2010, 08:34 PM So out of curiosity, what do you guys think they actually sold the others for? $8000 doesn't seem to be generating much interest.
And what do you think they paid for them?
The Sarge March 8, 2010, 08:36 PM GunBroker is where the tin foil hat buying public buys their firearms.
Full Metal Jacket March 8, 2010, 08:59 PM it's simply overpriced, like most everything else on gun broker. 8 grand for a little gold inlay on the slide, & other than that everything is standard glock? please.
there's been "only 20 ever produced" every couple years.
he'd be lucky to get 1/8 of his buy now price....
BullfrogKen March 8, 2010, 09:36 PM I've gotten quite a number of deals on Gunbroker, fellas.
Just because some folks try, I say again try, to sell something for an outlandish price doesn't mean the whole place has gone to hell.
I've seen the same at gun shows, gun dealers, etc, etc, etc.
Just move on to the next listing.
Or don't. With less of you all on there it means better chances for me.
Full Metal Jacket March 8, 2010, 09:41 PM i've never found anything on gunbroker that i couldn't get locally much cheaper.
Echo9 March 9, 2010, 01:03 AM The engraving itself is beautiful, if it is in fact actually engraved, but it looks totally ridiculous on a Glock. It's like having Michelangelo paint a mural on a manhole cover.
bigiron1 March 10, 2010, 12:37 AM I wonder how much they spent in tooling to get thru that hard slide.
I guess GLOCK is smart in that they don't have to get 20 people interested in 1 silly gun each, they need only to sell 20 silly guns to one guy.
In all honesty, I would actually carry one but not for eight grand. Not even close.
351 WINCHESTER March 10, 2010, 02:01 PM I want one with pearl handles - you know the pimp package. lol
Onward Allusion March 10, 2010, 02:06 PM Not even if I won the PowerBall.
With regard to Gunbroker, there are some seriously out-of-touch-greedy-idiot-merchants using it.

What are they smoking???
MachIVshooter March 10, 2010, 02:25 PM I wonder how much they spent in tooling to get thru that hard slide.
Any good carbide cutter will make short work of it.
Ben86 March 10, 2010, 02:40 PM A gold in-crusted Glock is like a navy seal wearing a tu-tu.
Wonder why it has had 0 bids in 5 days?
Hellbore March 10, 2010, 03:38 PM Lipstick on a pig :D
