I have had a black finish tomcat for about a year. I have only put about 100 rds through it. I saw a green and silver keltec p32, and am looking to trade. I bought the tomcat for $18 more than the p32 is stickered at the same gunshop. What should i expect in a trade? Should I be able to trade even? Should I trade?
I have a p11 keltec and carry it quite a bit.

Born, You can expect to get roughly 60% of a gun's value on trade, unless the dealer really wants what you are trading.
Whether or not you should trade is strictly your call. I own a standard blue model P32 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's been reliable through 300 rounds of various hollowpoint ammunition with the exception that it didn't lock the slide open after the first magazine of ammo. Since then it's been boring reliable..

Mark... you were right.Okay....my decision was helped by the lowball offer from the guy at the gunshop. He offered less than half what I paid for it, so I politely put it back in the box and told him I just couldn't do that. What was unexpected is that he seemed surprised.(this was a helper in the shop; not the owner)Then he wanted to know if I wanted to buy it outright! Too rich for my blood as this particular place is always overpriced---no competition in area.
That p-32 sure looked and handled nice. :(

I am biased but I'd try to buy the P32 first, test it and make sure it works for you. If it does, as I think it will, then sell the Tomcat to a private party.
 
Drop the "blow-back" operated Tomcat off, and step up to the "locked breach" operated Kel-Tec P32.

Lighter, stronger, holds more ammo.

JMHO.
