Depends on your market probably.
I have seen prices listed for new ones for $225, but then you tack on an FFL transfer and shipping (these were in catalogs) and it is much more. I paid more than $225 for my new one recently, bought locally.
I think if I was in the market for one I would be willing to pay $200 for a lightly used one, maybe $225 (simply because new ones are harder to get for cheap around here) but, depending on what the demand is in your area, you might have no trouble at all selling it for $225, if you run into the right buyer. Which is going to be the key.
On AuctionArms it looks like they are running around $250 on average.
I think you could sell it for $225...but the perceived (if not actual) effect of depreciation is going to make it easier to sell for cheaper than that, most likely. But I'd try the upper end price. Maybe sell it on an online auction site, perhaps.

I've never bought a private gun and would never do so, although I have sold privately every weapon I ever bought. Yah, that's the ticket...rcmodel said:One major advantage to a private sale is:
There is no Federal Paperwork.
I've been known to pay a little extra for the privacy.
Some of us are more paranoid then others however.

·Drop it on the Texas / Louisiana border next to the McDonald's bag with the crispy $100 bill ok then .... $200 in it. $210. ;D ;D ;D
I won't be the guy on the La. side of the line in the Blue truck. ;D
I agree with TX. Much more than $200 and most folks would go for new. I personally would not be worried about buying used, but here in North La. I can get new ones for $250.

I can see it now. Saturday morning, a pickup truck parked in front of Cheaper Than Dirt with a sign in the window saying “See customer inside wearing a Kel-Tec T-shirt for a great deal on a P-3AT” ;DDan H. said:

Give all pertinent info, price and your general location.
How much more would you expect a parkerized finish to go for? It's got an olive green grip and about 300 rounds through it.
I'm just looking for a ballpark figure. I know the MSRP is something like $40 more, but I would think the difference in a used gun would be more like $25 or so....but I don't know, that's why I'm trying to get some ideas.
