anybody think i can trade in my sig 226 elite 9mm with a 1000 rounds thru it for a new usp??
you guys think that could happen? |
| NIB I see them for $1K. If you find a motivated guy who has a standard USP 9mm NIB then you should be able to make the trade. IMO the pistol, any pistol, shot and used be it one shot or a thousand, is only worth about 80% of new price if absolutely LNIB and that means everything complete and no wear marks at all. To a dealer who marks up prices usually 30% it will be worth a lot less to him since he can get the SIG for about $700. The HK new is about a $800 pistol NIB. So he is getting it for maybe $600. A dealer MIGHT do the swap but I would be surprised. Even though they are coming out on top it still goes against their nature to trade used for new without boot. |
In arfcom fashion, I would say keep the sig and buy the USP so you have them both.  Being a fan of both sigs and HKs, I agree with the other poster that you would probably be better off if you bought the USP and then sell your 226. You shouldn't have a problem getting rid of that sig as that's a nice setup you have.
