Hi All, I have an opportunity to pick up a slightly used GP100 (stainless, 4in barrel, newer production around 2010ish). It belonged to an elderly person who passed away. The person had picked up the gun (their first) in their golden years because of the felt need for some type of home protection since they were alone in the house. I don't know if the gun was ever really fired. I figure there might have been some test firing early on, but for the most part it was kept holstered in a drawer in the home. As far as I know the gun is in pristine condition. Asking price is $500. This price seemed reasonable to me, but I don't know what the going prices are for the GP100. Any help would be much appreciated.
What is a good price on a slightly used GP100
- Thread starter Doug S
- Start date
If it is in pristine condition as you say, then $500 is a very fair price for what is essentially a brand new gun. But being stored in a holster is not good practice and could have damaged the finish, even stainless.
Just for reference, a 2006 vintage stainless GP recently sold locally on armslist for $450. It was supposedly very good condition also (sold before I had a chance to see it) but certainly had much more "mileage" on it than yours.

Thanks Slimjim9 for the info. I've had a chance to handle the gun. I didn't notice any finish issues with a quick look, but I will look more thoroughly. The holster was nylon. The gun was rarely removed from the holster, so there is no drawing/reholstering wear that I know of. I definitely like the gun, and want it. After getting the responses here, I'm comfortable with the price. Thanks again to all of you for helping me out.

Doug,
Bought mine NIB 4 months ago from Buds for $574.00 plus background ck. at FFL $35.00.
Sounds like a great price and no background ck.

I guess I was charged to much for mines. Got it from bass pro. 699.99. Since then I've fired hundreds of round and I like it more then any other handgun I have have or fired. So for me it was worth it, I may have over paid but I still dont feel like I got a short deal on it, its just that good.-CENSORED-Well worth more then it is sold for. So 500.00 is a steal!!
I did a trigger job on mines, replaced the springs, added some wilson combat sights and polished the frame with some mothers polish. None of that had to be done. It was good stock just wanted to add my own touch to it. Just icing on the cake imo. I'm sure you will love it!
