Two Glocks.....why did one sell for double?
I understand that adjustable sites is nice and all....but what am I missing here?

Gen 1 Glock 17 adj sites sold for $625

Gen 4 Glock 17 sold for $370
Someone tell my why a Gen 1 sold for so much more than the Gen 4.

The Gen 1 Glocks have a ton of collector value with the hardcore Glock guys/collectors.

I figured something like that was going on. Its hard to imagine that the Gen 1s are "all the rage" now.....but I guess it's true. 0 -
You just sold a WWII production receiver Winchester garand for me for over $3200.00
A post war arsenal rebuild standard rifle from the cmp - not a sniper or tanker or other rare duck variant
Why???
I have seen the same identical gun sell here for vastly different amounts of money for no identifiable reason
Seen models sell for well over identical pieces buy now prices
Scratching my head...
I have seen glocks with the smiley face slide serrations / culottes sell for ridiculous money - the target sights don't justify it.

I agree with Sig220, Gen 1's have a little collector market going on. 0 -

Thunderbird or ripple or night train or boons farm???
I mean to get you to bid on a glock - not over bid.

Gen 1s and Gen 2s are getting harder to find in relatively unmolested condition. I wouldn't spend that much but I'd got into the $500s for one. Apparently these two at the end really wanted it. Up in states like Massachusetts a pre-ban gun with NFML mags will go for a premium. 0 -
Hmmm, I have a Gen1 G17, original box, only about 100 rounds thru it, several mags, etc. just taking up space in the safe...may have to give this one some thought. 0 -

Sometimes there is an identifiable reason like Sig 220 states, sometimes it is an impenetrable mystery defying explanation. In that case, Montanajoe has a very good guess indeed. 0 -
I find the words "Glock" and "collectable" used in the same sentence to be quite humorous. 0 -

Keep it for another 10 years and you'll get double!! [8D]0 -
Like hummels prices may vary. 0 -
Yep Shilowar, you?re probably about right...unless some folks lose their minds and Gen1?s become the Beanie Babies of handguns. (This was supposed to be in green.) 0
