Value of a Browning Hi-Power Practical?

After 1911a1’s the FN Hi Power is my favorite pistol, I am never without six or eight in the safe from a pre war Belgian Army issue tangent sight to a 90’s Captain tangent sight.
Your intended trade is a good one, right now the market is flooded with Israeli surplus pistols keeping prices down.
 
Prices are beginning to rise across the board with the discontinuance of all FN Hi-Powers.
If you've been waiting, buy now.

I agree with a trade value of $650. I got the below pictured Belgian Browning for my son a year or two ago for a little less.

Better for medium or small hands, I get slide bite, but I have large hands. The Beavertail is just not made for large hands. That said I really like my Hi-Power, but have to use gloves.

I keep a roll of 3M Transpore medical tape in my range bag, then I tape up the web of my shooting hand before I start shooting, no big deal here!
 
A lot of times when people get bit by the hammer on a Hi-Power, they are getting nipped by the shank and not the spur. Replacing it with a Cylinder and Slide hammer (or thinning the shank a bit and chopping the spur at the second line) can solve that problem for most people who experience it.
 
They are nice guns, and worth the money. I have a 1994 Silver Chrome model with the factory adjustable sights, and Pachmyr grips. Essentially the same gun just all hard chrome, not two tone. I always liked the two tone look of the Practical though. It should come with padded magazines.
 
I made the trade today. It's in as nice of shape as the pics showed. Not a mark on it. The frame is cast, and it came with 1 black mag, marked Italy. Appears to be mecgar. It also has a mag pad in the case with it, and the manual.
