People pay the price, so thats why the price is high. IMO a Glock should cost no more than $350.

That's strange. I think Glocks are the biggest bargain on the market. They're affordable.

My G19 with an RMR zev trigger and threaded barrel is worth a bit, but that isn't a representation of all Glocks. I would say Glock is affordable.

Used ones sell all day long around here for $450-$500. And if you buy a Gssf membership (which allows you tho shoot the match) you get a coupon for one for $425-$450. Blue Label (LEO only) glocks are $425-$450. And then there are always police trade ins which can be down into the $350 range. So you allowing yourself to get boned on price is like going to Guido's Used Cars and wondering why the prices are so high.
And it was said before, even MSRP glock at $525 is not a bad deal for a solid reliable no frills gun. I men where are you seeing a better deal really? M&P? XD? Or are you veering off into the realm of the unproven in the quest to save $50? Sure I hate that Glock is so popular and that the other pistols out there don't always keep up. But hell....if you can't beat em |

I like the 17 and 19. well he's an idiot and your post was misleading. Current price is $625 for threaded barrel and 3 mags and night sights. Let's play this out - used gen 4 g17 = maybe $450. $500 with night sights. $20 per mag is $540. Threaded barrel gets it to $625 fairly easily. I wouldn't buy but it's not terribly out of line |

I can regularly find new Glocks for $499-525, but I sometimes have to travel and/or look to find them. I agree that most places overprice them, but someone must be paying those prices, so... |

They're worth whatever the buyer pays.
New Gen4 pistols where I'm at are $549 and Gen3s are $499. That is with standard sights. Night sights can easily add $100 to the price tag. A threaded barrel, depending on the manufacturer, can range anywhere from $150-$250. If certain components are hard to come by, that may make the package that much more desirable. FTF sales help save on the cost of shipping and transfer fees or sales tax. Used Glocks locally are still priced at $450-$500, sometimes more depending on accessories. There is one idiot on TexasGunTrader asking $650 firm for his Gen4 G19 because it has Tru-Glos despite the fact that it has been fired. His price is FIRM. He has three different ads on the first page for the same Glock as if none of us have noticed. I predict he's going to end up hanging onto it. 
I paid $460 out the door for a Gen4 G19 that was a sample gun so unfired but handled and racked some. I thought it was a decent deal for an essentially new pistol. Night sights cost me another $100, but that was installed too. |

Glock's just seem to hold their value better than some other brands. Used Glock's are at near new prices which says a lot for their demand. When for less than $600 you can buy a reliable firearm that will outlast most shooters, that's not bad. JMHO

Priced high? Glock prices have held to within $50 since I started buying them 10 years ago.

Sorry I'm late to the party! Look OP, here is the best way to put this: There is a reason, that Glock is used by probably at least 1/3 of this world's LE's. There is a reason, that the Mil. uses some. There is a reason, that it is at least in contention for one of the #1 selling private pistols in the country. There is a reason that a lot of HSLD guys use them. That reason???? They fucking work, first off! Secondly, you get a LOT of pistol for the money, that is very easily serviced, and has a useful life, longer than you can buy ammo attempting to tear it up. For $500 all day long. Get my drift?

Compared to their production costs they are too high priced.
Also, please stop using LEO sales as an indicator, everyone knows that Glock's agency pricing has nothing to do with what mere civilians have to pay. Glock gained such a large share of LEO sales simply by giving the damn things away. And don't think I'm dissing the pistol itself. It's by far the best $250~$300 gun ever made, but it's way over priced for what it is. |

Gun prices are very regional.
Some people attempt to sell guns for prices they will never get. Glocks are around $500 here all the time. Some shops try to sell them for $600+ and some idiots buy them. So they continue to sell them for that price. |
