Friends don't let friends overpay for Glocks...

[Laufen]

I paid almost $700.00. Average price is $600.00 +tax...

That's what I paid at AO. Right at $700 with tax.

That simply can not be possible! From the wisdom of many on here, NO GLOCK is worth over $600....lol. In all seriousness, I might use my next coupon for a G34. I've always wanted to try one.

While I did say that no Glock on here was worth over $500 w/ the factory accessories; perhaps I should have been more specific w/ no USED Glock. Would that make you all feel better? I am not debating the price of NEW Glocks; just the used ones that are priced NEARLY as high as the used ones.

I think the OP has a flaw in his argument. I do belong to GSSF and I get one coupon per year. I could buy a G17 or G19 for $425 plus tax, so I'd be in at just over $450. I happened to use my coupon this year (first time I had a coupon btw), and I got a 30s for $491, plus tax. I was over $500 with the coupon. Miltary/LEO can buy them at that price too, but to my understanding, it's limited to one or two a year. The fact that no new Glock is worth $500 is not true. You'd be assuming every new Glock was bought using a discount, or that everyone bought from the cheapest retailer possible. Everyone loves PSA (as do I), but check their prices on Glock. Most of them are $550 or more. I'm all for finding the best deal, but you can't look at every listing assuming the guy is trying to screw you and paid the least amount possible for the item.

So, in a round about way my question about GSSF was finally answered. Thank you, albatros43. No, the GSSF "discount" is not the same as the LEO/Fireman/Public Safety discount. Using the same example as above: the G17/G19 are $398.20 plus tax; so roughly $25 less. The "flaw in the OP's argument" is assuming that a used firearm should not be sold for same price as a new firearm. Despite all the whining and moaning about a dead horse yada yada yada bull****; I learned something today.

So a gently used G34 that cost $700 and is a month old is not worth $550? I'm not picking on you, and granted the G34 is the priciest Glock out there. If this convinces everyone to list used Glocks at $400, I'll stand behind whatever you say!

Can any military or LEO clarify how many you can buy each year? I like Glocks and joined GSSF just for the discount. It also allows you to take the armorer's course, which I think would be cool. I agree that used guns are not worth new gun price. The new gun price can't be set on what a finite population pays however.

What I don't like is the price difference between a 9mm and a 45acp... There can't be THAT much difference is material to justify a $75 up-charge. All BNIB Glock's are IMO, $500 guns. They are not worth any more than that to me.

Awesome reference!

Agreed. Realistically... a used one isnt worth 400. These armslisters on here just got the money and pride to pay 700 od g22g4 lol
