I’m just trying to find a place that I can buy a used Glock where the dealer isn’t asking like 90% of the new value. At that price, why buy other people’s problems? Any tips for Northern CA/Sacramento area?
 
of all places, turners has used guns including glocks and they will ship them to your local store, there's a page on their site with a list. I don't think they ship it if it's a consignment only if it's labeled used. Their regular gen 3 glocks are ~400 used, there is the caveat though that you have to pay all the taxes when buying from a dealer even when it's used however it's still cheaper than GSSF. Otherwise wait for one to pop up on here, I got a G26 last year for 425

River City Gun Exchange has a lot of used Glocks for reasonable prices. For the past 5-6 years, they've regularly had LE Glock 22s for $300.
 
San Diego sheriffs office recently got rid of a couple of their glocks, selling a few to local gun store. They were off roster and citizens of the town they served in couldnt even buy them. Thought that was funny to see
 
Same question but socal, LA OC area

Aims Surplus of Ohio and a few select CA pawn shops would get shipments from time to time, but that supply has dried up for the most part.

Got a Glock 22 for $299 for work a few years back from that deal.
 
LEO trade ins are great value. The +11% excise tax and FFL transfer fees are chilling though.

Yeah I think it reduces how much firearms change hands for sure. If there are cheap guns around and low transfer/sales fees, then you could try a ton of different stuff. I go to Sacramento Gun Range and even they don’t have half the guns I want to rent.

the mail order transfer fee which is at least 75 bucks on top of DROS and 20% taxes makes it actually more expensive than finding a local ppt, its very unfortunate.
