Fair asking price...

First: I am NOT attempting to sell my pistol via the forum. I am only soliciting opinions on a fair asking price.

With that out of the way... I have a SIG P229 Enhanced Elite 9mm. It is the E2 style grip. It has a manufacture date of 05/21/2012 and I purchased it 2 weeks ago NIB. It was an impulse buy... And I'm just not that into it and I want to sell it. It has just 150 rounds on it and NO scuffs, scratches, dents or sings. I paid just over $950. I know I will never recover my initial investment... But what is a fair price for a private sale? Any input is greatly appreciated.

You may not like this but after doing a bit of research and consulting my gun values books I've determined (and I could be wrong here) that your gun, if in NIB condition, would probably sell in a private sale for no more than $850... and that's if you find someone to give you that much for it. You're probably looking closer to $750 to $800 really.

This of course isn't definitive - just what I've gleaned off internet searches and looking through my most current values books.

Depending on the market in your area you could get more for it or you could get less.

Good luck with your sale.
 
That's actually great. I was asking $750 or a partial trade for a Glock 26 or 19. I really thought I was starting out too high...!

Just an update... I was asking $750 for the SIG, I had advertised it on a local firearm classified internet site and I had so many lowball offers it was sickening. We all know what price tag it has in the store. I fully acknowledged that I knew I was never going to recover my initial investment... But some slug actually offered $350 cash and had to nerve to say take it or leave it.

So... I wound up trading for a LNIB Glock 26 Gen4 plus $150 on his part. I am quit happy with my new Glock. But boy did I take a beating on that one. Thank you all your your input.
