Trade in value on Kel Tec P32

just-shoot

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.

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


One woman's opinion

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.

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.

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.
