im kinda low on cash so i was looking into selling my XD ( i really hate to do it) but the gun shops in my area told me $200 to $250 is the best they can do.. is that the a fair price? it seemed kinda low to me especially since i have 7 mags for it... what do yall think?

i would just keep it. other wise as soon as you can you'll want to buy another one. i'd see if you can find some side work or something. or try and borrow some money. people are more understanding in times like these we are having.

i agree if you are willing to part with something you will replace eventually...dont. i have struggled with that issue as well in recent years and regret every one of them. dont live with regret if you can avoid it.

thanks, hope I could buy with that price.

DON'T SELL IT TO A GUN STORE!!! They are just like car dealers and will not give you what it's worth. They are there to make a profit. If you must sell it sell it to a person you will easly get 100 dollars more for it fast. Put it up for sale here and you'll get 350 fasst with the mags.

i sold my bi-tone service with 5 mags for $400

Right. At $350, it would be a steal. I bought a used XD40 Service for $375 recently, played with it and sold it for $400 a month later.

Gun Shops have to be able to make money. So of course they aren't going to give you a decent price. If they gave you what it was really worth, they wouldn't stay in business.

no!!! don't sell it ... pawn it if you have to but dont sell it

As others have said, selling a used gun to a dealer is like selling a used car to a dealer. They have to be able to turn it and sell it for a profit.

Toss it up on a For Sale forum and sell it to a private party.
