Gen 1 Glock 17 Value

[CdnCombatMedic]

Hey everyone,

Just wanting a second opinion on a value of a Gen 1 Glock 17 with box, manual, 2 mags, loader, brush.

Looks mint almost new.

What would you pay for it?

Thanks

 

[TheWhole9Yards]

$350?

 

[CdnCombatMedic]

The gentleman is asking $775 plus $40 shipping which I think is really high......

Although I do think $350 is a really low offer

 

[Leviathan024]

$775 hell no! if in nice shape and low round count $450 tops!

 

[AB.boy]

I agree with you that sounds really high, I bought a new Gen 4 for less than that. I was thinking more in the $450 range for the Gen 1. Does the current owner think there is some collector value there?

I just bought a gen 4 for 600 shipped with night sites, mind you it was stippled and trigger guard modded so that may reduce value for some, I personally really like it so it adds value to me... 775 is almost the cost of new

I just bought a minty Gen 2 G17 for $525 shipped. I would be ok with $625 shipped for a Gen 1 mint but that's about it. He won't budge unfortunately from $775 plus $40 shipping.

500ish range.

I guess all you can do is table your offer and then soul search if you're ok with the gamble of waiting it out.

Good Luck .

I don't mind paying a little extra for something I really want but I don't want to be taken either. Thanks for those who have offered advice. I think this may be a case of not knowing what it's worth. Maybe this thread will help work out a deal.

$450 range

There is nothing spectacular about a Gen1 to command that premium. If it was built in some crazy way that made it significantly better than a Gen4 then I get it but that's far from reality

 

[Master-G]

True Gen 1s (I've seen some Gen 2s listed as Gen 1) are fairly rare and would have some collector value. I don't know if that adds much, but to be honest I think that it could maybe sell on the EE for around what's being asked.

 

[IM_Lugger]

I'd say if it's beat up than $450 but if it's mint $700 for a Gen 1 is reasonable IMO.

 

[90vette]

$100 and I'll take it.

I have a Glock 17 Gen. 1 that is like mint with a laser sight attached to the trigger guard, it has been a safe queen for .... a long time and was thinking about selling, so also wondered about fair value.

$500 is the absolute top for a Gen 1. Yes they're kinda neat, but they're really nothing special. Glocks evolve for a reason

 

[BattleRife]

Disagree. The Gen 1 is the rarest Glock pattern in north America, and the only one that could be considered to have any sort of collector value. I would say $500 is the absolute minimum for a excellent+ condition gun. But I wouldn't pay more than $600. The premium just isn't there on these guns, yet.

How about Glock G34 gen 4. 500 rds?

 

[Cocked&Locked]

i wouldn't go over 400 and it would have to be perfect, I always thought the gen 1's where really slippery. If there where any marks at all on it, 300, maybe 350. As stated you can buy a used gen 3 or 4 for 500 if you look.

Where do you guys find gen 3-4 glock 17 for 500$ ? I must be looking in all the wrong places.
