What is it worth

I dont know what its worth, but if you decide to get rid of it I'd be interested......depending on the value of it (price).

A new Beretta goes for about $550 on up according the model. A used one would be at least 20% less.

Unless it's the first edition Beretta M9 in a large OD box with belt and holster, it's not worth more than a standard Beretta.

Once it leaves the shop the price drops even if it's never been fired. There are good reasons for this, one of them being that there's no way to verify whether in fact it's unfired and there's the likelihood of handling beyond what's typical in a shop environment; take downs, dry firing, loading and unloading mags, and cycling rounds. On top of that shops have insurance, wages, rent and other expenses that forces them to sell at higher prices than individuals.

Check completed auctions on GunBroker for a rough idea of the going rate but keep in mind the price differential between a shop's price and an individual's price.

From what I've seen, if your M9 isn't a first edition, and if it's truly mint with two mags and all accessories, you're looking at roughly $450-$500.

It is in a green box with 2 mags
Whats up with the 1 of 5000 thing

I have a Colt A1 upper I'd offer in trade for the M9 if you're interested.

"1 in 5000" just means it's a special edition of one kind or another. Such "special" editions retail for more than a standard pistol, but the resale in the used market isn't a dime higher.

This really isn't the right place for a "what's it worth" thread. You might want to ask the moderators to move this to the semi-auto handguns area.

Ask soon, before the thread is deleted. (For not having a location in the title)
