California Glock Prices

We only have 50 threads about it for days lol

Is it just me or are these Glock prices getting way too out of hand…? I understand the hike in price due to the roster exclusion but 1.5k+ for Gen 3’s is outlandish.

Definitely opting for an Echelon now !
Yeah they’re ridiculous .. I hope they approve more Glocks like 19x or other variations so we can get something better than the overpriced gen 3s
 
Average user on here : Most guns are better than glocks

Also them : I cant wait to buy a glock
 
The funny part is turners is the store trying to rip people off with 2k gen 3 used Glocks. But yet people line up to buy from a sht corporation
My friend told me they said "ask what you want you ask more we make more".

Honestly, makes me think the only reason anyone would pay over $1000 for a gen 3 Glock is because they intend to put a switch on it. Theres no other explanation.

Glock is well aware and was well aware before this came… they’re definitely enjoying this and building up the pressure until their next CA compliant pistol.

With almost all other pistols offering superior features and designs, all Glock has is a brand name and community at this point (I’m talking civilian world, where we as users make the purchase decision 100% independently).

They also know that their upcoming CA compliant versions will be hot poop, and likely inferior to even an original Gen 3.
So all they’re doing rn is building up that pressure. Glock boys are drooling and day-dreaming of an upcoming Gen 6 CA compliant. By the time it comes out, they’ll rush to the stores and get them, no matter what it comes out to be. Even if the thing is terrible, mark my words: they’ll all just convince themselves and even go around telling people about how “it doesn’t even bother them, they just got used to all those safeties very quickly and it doesn’t cause any problem for them… It’s just as good”. Or that “there’s no downsides and this is the best pistol they’ve ever had!” 🤡

So yes it is simping, it’s brand manipulation, Glock knows full well and is playing their only few lousy cards to perfection (no pun intended but it works I guess).

It’s working so well on full grown adult men with low emotional control, it’s concerning.
Okay. Fair enough. I can get with this angle.
I just bought the 43x because I thought the 26 was just too blocky for my hand. Also because it, “was” “off roster” and unobtainable in stores I paid a premium, but I absolutely love the way the slim frame grip feels in my hand and it’s not neutered.
It’s a toss up between the Wilson 365XL.
Wanted both, purchased both, happy with both.
Just waiting a bit longer to simp for Sig, but my buddy just got a M400.
Probably simping sooner than later 🤣
 
I have a G19 Gen3 bought last year as FOMO, but never got around to using it. Brand new/not fired condition. I was thinking of putting it up in classifieds for $650. Decent enough?

Should sell fast

Put it up for trade instead, write down something that you have been interested in trying/owning. In the past several months I have been listing some glocks I have for trade and I get exactly what I want every single time + cash on top to cover DROS and beer/ammo money. If your in it for the hobby then selling it at the price or to make $100 on top isn't really worth it. Glocks are like gold its almost a universal gun commodity. Take advantage because I have a feeling Glock will be back on the CA market soon after the intro of the 43x. The market for the high priced off roster Glocks will shift because the demand will lessen. Off roster Glocks will always be desirable and demand a premium, but it won't be the same market it is now.
 
The prices are stupid. I see a few here and there priced reasonably, but anyone who thinks a G19 Gen 3 is going to sell for $1000 is deluded. I also don’t get the asking prices for OD frame and C models. Rare does not equal expensive.

I traded my $500 Gen 4 G19 for a $1200 off roster Sig Scorpion Carry 1911

Rare in most cases does equal more money if it's truly rare..... but I don't even think Glocks with OD frames or compensated Glocks are anything rare

Rare in these cases would be availability. Seems like only everyone in the Bay Area is willing to part ways with Glocks sub $1k.

Guilty! But in my defense, Gen 3 suck with finger grooves and no red dot cut. Give me a Gen 6 G45 MOS and I’ll buy a Glock at MSRP. But basic motherless 🐐 guns are the only thing I refuse to pay off roster prices on. I’m happy with off roster 2011s that sell used for less than I can buy them new
 
I still have my Gen5 G19 but I'll be gifting it to my god son. My Gen 3 G19 I bought new in 2000 I'll keep.
 
Aren't most of not all off roster gun prices a rip off? Like someone said "people want what they can't have"
But I absolutely agree. 1k is already pushing it. Even if it's fully kitted out. But $2800 for a stock 43x is insane.
That spongy trigger must make people moist.
But I can also say the same for a 10k stock (budget outside of CA) 2011 with no accessories or mags. You know the:
I know what I got. Shot once and oil rubbed cleaned... Vigorously...
