| I was thinking about offloading one of mine (an XCompact) to raise $ for a G20 but it looks like the ones listed aren't moving. Is the used pistol market just slow right now, or are people not very interested in used 320s? |

The market is flooded with common guns like Sigs, Glock and M&P’s and you’ll see even more become available as we get closer to Christmas. The economy is shit and people will sell off what they have to fund other things. If you price it right, it will sell. But that price changes constantly. |
Market is from slow to dead. My LGS close to my ranch did a lot of gunjoker business, but says he can't even give away guns right now. He actually asked me to make an offer for anything in the store. I am doing my best to not buy any guns this year.  You may consider parting out your 320. You will probably make more. |
| From what I have been seeing and involved in, selling for cash, seems kind of futile sadly. I sold a couple pistols not long ago and most people are only offering trades, as they can't seem to sell their stuff either. I normally price my guns at great prices and have taken a loss at times, even when they were never fired, if I wanted/needed something else. Now I am pretty content with what I have, which is ok for me, as the market is flooded with many different guns. I would think about trading into something else, as you might have better luck or even selling the parts separately. |

Quoted: I saw your add OP You are limiting yourself significantly only wanting a local cash sale + the price is too high. I'm not saying you're wrong at all, but at that price I'm eating the cost of the holsters, an additional OEM mag, the streamlight & the WC frame, all bought new. I'll just keep it if nobody wants that deal, or wait for a trade item to pop up. |

You are assuming the person is going to want everything just as you did. Take it all apart and sell it separately. 365, 320 and Glocks are easy to do that with. I've tried to sell Glocks as a singular piece and I've ended up taking them apart and making an extra $100 to $200. I once sold a Glock to six different people (LPK, UPK, stripped slide, sights, barrel and RSA, and eventually, the bare frame). I sold the parts in two days and sold the frame a month later (wasn't trying to sell it at that point, as I had made profit already). A guy put up a WTB and I made him a deal. I think the 320 & especially the 365 are even easier with the FCU being diff and many owners having multiple grip frames. |

Picked up a used but like new 320 Compact for $340 at my local shop last week. Early gun, hasn't been in for the upgrade and I doubt I'll bother. Box, spare mag, etc. I thought it was a good deal. Just looked at your ad. Nice set up but $650 isn't happening. Add on stuff is almost always a sunk cost. Holsters are basically a giveaway. The light is nice but limits your market. Not everyone runs a light. Anyone looking at that is looking at the pistol and nothing else. Stock guns sell better in the used market than modified guns. Always been that way. |

It's a buyers paradise. If you can save up some money there are some great deals to be had. I just bought a complete lower and it's a good deal to me. I have seen some great deals on pistols. I was able to get a used G45 with Trijicon sights for $425 last spring. I wish I had more fun money to get good deals with. |
