    Talking Shop with best trade values? (lower/middle bucks)

    Hi people!

    Was looking for input on your opinions of which stores usually offer the best trades and don't screw you over to bad. I shoot and buy all my guns from classic pistol but, I've never thought about trading in towards something else before now.
    I want to trade my m&p 45c FDE. That and I have a few Glock mags including a 30 round one. None of these places take body armor so I may be posting that up in the classifieds soon...lol

    Anyone with experience trading guns as a habit or just did it once, please share your input and knowledge! Thanks!

    In my experiences, there isn't a shop out there that will give you anywhere near what you could get by posting here, even if you sell for very cheap. Keep in mind that any of these places can get new guns at wholesale... which means that they aren't going to pay you much for your used gun.

    Tanners Sport Center in Jamison
    Quinby's in Dublin

    I don't even go offer them to classic or surplus anymore.

    Came in here to post Tanners and Quinby's.

    I've traded in a few guns at Tanners and I've been shocked at how much they gave me. YMMV

    Wink Re: Shop with best trade values? (lower/middle bucks)

    Thanks guys, I'm gonna check out Tanner's. I deffenitly won't go to Mike's on 13, my boss bought his wife a Pk380 used for $399. Didn't have the heart to tell him he could have gotten that new for way less.
    I don't really have the patients for selling it myself, I trade in alot of games and electronics so I know you're not getting any kind of deal, you're always gonna take a loss. I figure the time I had with the gun was like a long rental, time to trade, something less plasticy.

    List your gun in the classifieds here. Win-win for all involved. Might take a teeny bit more effort of your part but the increased compensation will more than offset that.
