Factory Glock barrel or aftermarket?
The CT will fit all the compact Glocks so might be better off selling that alone.
I have paid 400 425 for used Glocks, extra barrel 100 at most, holsters I usually don't care for in trades/buying.

I think there are two reasonable strategies, depending on your timeline.
1. Find the cheapest online price for NIB and discount based on condition.
2. Ask a high price and wait for someone willing to pay that much.

Truth is, most people don't pay NIB retail prices for used guns. Most cases, people do take a loss on selling guns that they bought new.
As for gunbroker, I recommend people log in to their account first so they can search for actual completed sales (create a free account if you do not already have one, jumping frog is already taken
). Sort by # bids from high to low.
There are a lot of guns on gunbroker that get posted at a high price, never get any bids or the "reserve not met". They turn around and relist the guns.
A better indication of actual market prices are guns that
actually sold.

Unless they're collectible, and there are no more new ones, the fair market price for a used consumer good is less than the price for a new one. Even "good as new" is not new, no matter if it's a gun or a motorcycle or a TV. The exception is selling into a niche market that can't or won't buy new because of legal restrictions or a need to avoid government attention.

As additional reference points:
XX Distributors is currently offering Gen 3, GLOCK 22's for $329
A year or so ago my brother bought one w/ night sights for $350 from another online dealer
