i was pondering on whether or not i should sell my like brand new stainless kimber target II (9mm) with 6 mags (4 are brand new never used). But wanted to know what the going price range is for this gun. your opinions on what a good price is? a price where the buyer feels like they got a great deal and the seller(me in this case) feels like they're not taking a big loss.

i paid $925.00 brand new for it, minus the 5 magazines ofcourse!

Around $825-$850 should be expected,WITHOUT the extra mags.Soon as you drive it off the lot,it goes down alittle ya know.Great gun your thinking of selling BTW.

I would recommend going to Gunsamerica and pricing a new one just like it and then take about 10 - 15% off that to get a realistic price for a "used like new" gun. There are so many places that sell new guns with substantial discounts off the list price that you can't really use it for pricing.

For used magazines, you can generally figure to get maybe half what they cost new.

Yeah it is a great gun! I'm very hesitant to sell it, but at the same time if I sell it, it would help finance an AR-15 build I have in mind. I'd rather sell some stuff that I have now, than go into savings for the whole build or buy another type of gun or rifle...

just trying to minimize the wallet impact...

I learned this the hard way once:

Never sell a firearm. Keep it, and save for the next one.

+1. I hope to never sell one of mine.

Send me a PM if you want the book value for it though.

Go find the IDPA crowd in your area and let them know. That's the way to sell those particular models. They might want to shoot it before buying it, so make sure it works.

Thats why I research for months before I settle down to buy. I researched my CCW piece (going for the G26) for over 2 months.
