I found a Body Guard 380 at a pawn shop.  They couldn't sell it today because it in has been pawned but
they can sell it tomorrow.  It still looks new, didn't look like it had been fired.  They told me they are going to price it at $375.00
Is this a good price for a used one?  Do you guys like yours?  Should I go buy it tomorrow?

Fair price, I've been looking to pick one up for the wife.  Most are running around $550 new.  I've seen some trigger issues on early s/n's but from what I've been reading they're getting taken care of by S&W.

I have one and like it alot but I'd be careful buying a used one right now. I am not sure the lifetime warranty applies to 2nd owners. Knowing alot of folks have had issues with early models, I think having the warranty coverage is a really nice selling point for going new. Now if sw honored the warranty for 2nd owners, then I'd say that sounds like a good deal.

Just to give you an ideal, wife paid $439 new and I agree on what was posted above, make sure the warranty can be extended.

Went to the shop talked to owner.  It wasn't on pawn just waiting for the serial number to clear.
Gun was bought brand new last week guy decided he would rather have a Walther PPK so he traded.
So its one week old and never fired.  Unfortunately I didn't get to buy it Cause my Dad bought it
He's been wanting something with a laser for about a year now.  You know mid 60's failing eyesight
being a granddad, etc, etc.  My jokes go on.  I told him he probably wouldn't find a better deal.
I'm waiting to get a range report from him, I'll let you know if he likes it.

edit: Walther PPK not P38 (to much cold and allergy medicine)
