What should it go for?
So I am looking into selling my .40 3.8 XDm. I got it less than a year ago and it's had maybe 1,000 rounds through it and has 3 magazines, what do yall think I should be asking for it? I have never sold one of my guns before so looking for some advice on pricing for resale.
Re: What should it go for?
2/3 of the best "new" price you can find on web or gun shows. Extra mag adds zero. IMHO, YMMV.

Re: What should it go for?
I just bought the 9mm compact XDm and it comes with a nice case, holster, mag holder etc.
Does that help the resale value?
Just kind of curious if you don't mind why are you selling it?

Re: What should it go for?
I was kinda bothered by how heavy and long the trigger pull was, and I want to get the M&P compact. Other than the trigger its a pretty good gun.jimandyen wrote: Just kind of curious if you don't mind why are you selling it?

This.
You can also go to the XDTALK forums and see some of their for sale adds. That should give you a good idea.
Re: What should it go for?
Don't suppose you're interested in a .40? I have the exact same package you have, but in .40 cal. Bought it about a month ago, then decided I would rather have a 9mm. I've never fired it, trying to find somebody to trade it off for the same thing in 9mm.jimandyen wrote:I just bought the 9mm compact XDm and it comes with a nice case, holster, mag holder etc.

ryanr1299,
I think I'll keep the 9mm mostly because my other guns are 9mm also and it's at the shop getting some Trijicon
sights put on. What you might want to do is ask about a 9mm conversion for the XDM .40 so you can shoot both
calibers.
Re: What should it go for?
Yeah that's a good thought, except I actually don't like the .40 cal round. I'll find something to trade it for eventually

Re: What should it go for?
I think it's higher if the gun is in almost new condition. Maybe 80% of the lowest NIB price, looking at gun shows, online sites, etc. to find the lowest price someone could buy it new. I would offer the extra mags at 1/2 NIB price to someone who buys the gun, or sell them separately if the buyer doesn't want the extras. Used holsters add very little, and you're better off selling them separately too.gmckinl wrote:2/3 of the best "new" price you can find on web or gun shows. Extra mag adds zero. IMHO, YMMV.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
Re: What should it go for?
Depends on private sale or if you are looking to trade in the gun. Probably you would get a quick $450 to $480 in a private sale. A dealer is going to offer you about $400 (a little more maybe, probably less) - depending on what you are trying to buy and what haggling you have done over the price. Kinda like buying a vehicle, the price and trade will get squeezed somewhere to make up the difference.

Re: What should it go for?
If you don't like the trigger pull on your XDm then you will hate it on the M&P and it takes about $80-$100 to make it nice.paulhailes wrote:I was kinda bothered by how heavy and long the trigger pull was, and I want to get the M&P compact.

I don't believe the XDm is of any better quality than the M&P but, the trigger is certainly no better.

I don't know I love the trigger on the M&P compared to the XDm, in my opinion there is a huge difference.Mike from Texas wrote:If you don't like the trigger pull on your XDm then you will hate it on the M&P and it takes about $80-$100 to make it nice.paulhailes wrote:I was kinda bothered by how heavy and long the trigger pull was, and I want to get the M&P compact.
