Trade in value on Kel Tec P32
Paid $250 a couple years back on my Kel Tec p32, still have the original box, carring case and everything that came with the gun. I dodn't believe I've shot more than 100 rounds through it. What amount can I resonable expect to get on trade If I purchase another hand gun from a dealer this weekend at the cross roads gun show. I dodn't mind some loss, but I dodn't want to be taken either, fair trade value is what I'm looking for. Thanks

I can buy a new one from my dealer for $219.00. So I figure there cost is probably around $200.00. I think you will probably looking at a trade-in value of 150-175, unless the dealer is overpriced with his guns. Then of course he will give you more on a trade. 0 -
The Blue Book of Gun values lists the P-32 at 300 MSR... 255 at 100% down to 125 at 60%
From my experience at gun shows, dealers want guns as cheap as they can get them... and I mean CHEAP...*LOL
The Blue Book I quoted from is the latest edition..Hope this helps

martzkj hit the idea square on the head. Now that there are more p-32's out there, the price is back down to a normal level. A dealer at a gun show will not want to give you fair market price simply because he has to turn it and make money. So he can't afford to buy it at a fair price. If a dealer can sell them at $219 (i think they're $229 in my area) then I'd be really suprise if they offered you $150 for it at a gun show. You're best bet if you really have to get rid of it, is to find a personal buyer that wants the gun for himself and he will be willing to pay more for a used gun then a dealer can pay. You can probably get at least $185 possibly $200 from John Q. Buyer.
Do the best you can with what you've got and let the rest of the world roll right on by.0 -
Here you would be lucky to get $175.00 outof it.However they are nice little guns.

Hey ,
For years now , a lot of dealers ( us too ) use the 80/20 method of getting a ball-park figure on value...blue book is o.k. for a reference but the SGN & Gun List as well as auction sites and "dist."
price lists will give current value on new available items...anyhow-
the 80/20 method is : find "dealer-whloesale" price on an item
(example - your keltec is at $219.95) and figure 80% of that is in the
ball-park of what we will allow ....giving us a 20% margin on a trade-in...of course you must allow for Cond.,Asessorcies,Extra Items (mags ect.) and Market trend (is it a HOT Item or a DUD ???)....As stated , we know of several dealers who use this to "ball-park" prices ....If you do not get what you want , let us know if you want a "cash" sale ,
we might do some business......
Thanks !!!! & Good Luck ..................

To get a "fair", I suppose that means retail, price for your gun. You need to rent a table at a gun show. Cost will probably be $40 to $80 for one table for the weekend. 0 -
We also use the 80 / 20 method. To determine value we add Blue Book Standard Firearms and Gun List divide by 3 then go 80% of that for what we can give. 0
