Like I said earlier, $350 will make it go quick. At $300 it will probably last a day. You're asking for regular market price so you're competing with all the other used XDs on the market. I bought three XDs from forums only because I felt the price was a steal. I wasn't actively in the market at the time. I'd help you out but I already have an XD9svc. If a steal of an XD9sc shows up, I'd probably jump on it.

Edit: Make that four XDs. All but my first one were bought off the forums.

For me at lease, I will only purchase a used item if I can get it for 50% new $, or it is an impossible find. Otherwise, why take the risk? I would just buy new.

$400 is a lot for a used item that sells new for $500 tops. No matter how used, it's still used IMHO.

Wow, I really disagree. Why spend $100 when you don't have to?? I bought my XD45 Compact for $419 and it sold new for $500. Felt great saving nearly $100!!

Thats how I look at it too, if I could have found an XD for $400 that looked new, why not... I was going to buy a used xd9 bi tone for $425used... cus the new one was $530. But I saw the black and it was the one.

Im thinking about dropping the price.

Dropping the price should make it move faster if you really need the cash. Haven't you already had people here make offers of a lower price?

Really comes down to how badly you need the cash now as opposed to waiting for a buyer at your price. It sucks if you are in a bind, but that's how the free market works.

I dont "need" it really.. just would like to have it now for things.. Yes I have had people offer me $350 for it and one guy offered me $375 shipped...

Maybe I should drop it to $399.99

looks better than $400
