THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I went back and forth with this pistol and while I have no reason to want to sell it, it simply doesn't 'fit' my hand like my 1911's do. It's pretty much been on my gun-bench and never gets used so I came to the realization that I think someone else would enjoy it/have a use for it.

My problem is, I have only once before sold a firearm (rifle) and have absolutely zero idea as to how to value slightly used handguns. I figured since there are SA owners here who may have bought/sold used guns that they may be able to give me some solid advice so I don't look like an idiot, ask for something I'll never get, or undercut myself.

Handgun specs:

SA Armory XD45 4" Service Model; Black Slide, Green Frame- has roughly 500 rounds down the tube
4 Factory Magazines
Factory Box
Springfield Accessories that came with the handgun during a promotion (double magazine holder and magazine loader I believe)
I have a Gcode kydex holster as well as a Tactical Tailor moldular holster for it I may list together or as a package (if this matters)
Light holster wear on the frame from holstering/unholstering
The handgun was painted at one time (krylon) with the slide and all metal completely cleaned of paint and only small traces on the slide (can easily be removed, just didnt)

Besides this, the handgun performs flawlessly with both ball and jacketed ammunition; no malfunctions to date with around 500 rounds.

What would this be worth as far as a fair price to ask? Honestly, I do like the handgun, I am just very partial to 1911s and gave a polymer gun a chance but really prefer the all metal pistols.

Thanks for any help.

With the holsters you could get 450$ for it. Thats what I would ask.

Should sell fairly fast at that price.

I wouldn't ask more.

If it were me, I'd list a bi-tone with extra mags, lightly used, for $500. It will go quickly at $450. Don't let anyone haggle you lower than $450, you can easily get that.

Agree as well on the asking price of $450. You should have no issues selling it.
