Hi, all-
I'd like to purchase an MK9 (or maybe a PM9) soon. I went to what might be my new favorite shop in the greater Seattle Area today, and they had each for $599.
A quick trip to gunbroker.com shows the MK9 in stainless to be from $475 - $575 NIB. Figure adding in $50 for shipping and FFL, that turns into $500 or $600.
So I don't mind paying an extra $50 for a gun that I can a) Have today and b) take back if it's a lemmon.
I guess I don't know if those prices are even close to fair. Sure, stuff is listed on gunbroker & auctionarms, but the asking prices don't really always equal the final sales price, like on any auction.
Another question - I want to sell my Ruger. I see them for $350 or so on the gun auction sites, and in-store for about $400. Am I better off trading it to the gun shop against the Kahr or selling it privately? I have a good idea of what I think a fair price is, but I know the store will give me less than that (bought enough used cars to know how that works!).
Maybe I'm rambling; maybe I really don't want to part with the Ruger; maybe I want the Kahr right now... I don't know.
So those of you who wheel and deal, what do you do?
Thanks
