Read on through the thread, it was a done deal

So, I've been wanting to trade up to something from my Springfield 1911. My ad is on here actually. Well, to the point...I was offered a LNIB .40 USPc in stainless. My first assumption was well, this seems like a great deal. Seems like a USPc would hold it's value better, not to mention, worth more than the gun I have up for trade.

What do you ya'll think? Think it's a no-brainer? Thanks guys.

Figured I might just flip the gun

Well, the upper end Springfield 1911's can run as much brand new as a nice used USP .45 so condition and options make a great deal of difference here. Assuming all things are about average, yeah, you are getting a two to four hundred dollar upgrade. That makes me wonder if there isn't something wrong with the H&K. If there isn't, grab up this deal ASAP IMHO.

Yeah, I figured it's a great snag. My 1911 is only a Mil-Spec, so it's not exactly a high end model. His USPc is in great condition, low round count, and no carry wear. Thanks for your reply bro.

Well, the deal is going through in a few hours..anyone else wanna chime in with their opinions?

 

[Plinkuh]

I just need some reassurance from my INGO pals

NEEDED, lol...

 

[BDBHoover]

Do it!!! Make sure you inspect the USPc very well before actually swapping it..... If everything is in order then go for it!!!

It does matter! I always need reassurance from my INGO fam! Shame on you Sir

EDIT: Plus as I stated earlier, I don't want it, I'm just gonna flip it. I'm not a .40 slow and worthless fan

*sending Plinkuh reassurance* That will cost one pack of applewood smoked bacon please

In it for the dough huh? Then for sure do it after inspecting it THOROUGHLY

Ok, here you go. It sounds like a reasonable deal. The USP would generally command a higher price, used, than a lower end Springfield 1911 pattern pistol, used. If you don't LIKE your Springfield, it becomes a better deal. If you lust after a USP it becomes a SUPER deal. I'm a fan of 1911 pattern pistols, so for me the commercial price difference isn't as significant, but if I were holding a pistol I didn't really like and had the option of trading straight up for something I might like better that the market prices at a premium, I expect I'd do it.

If the guns are as you say, it would be a good deal. The UPS should be about 700 or more if as stated.

A new USPc .40 ss can be had for $750.00. I have seen several used sell around $600.00. Just keep that in mind since you just want to re-sell it.

It appears that the guy with USPc could just sell his gun and buy a brand new mil-spec if he wanted to...

Thanks man, I figured as much. This particular USPc is in stainless is in great condtion 95% and up. I figured I'd try and trade straight up for a compact 1911(Springfield) or Glock 30SF with night sights plus cash or accessories/ammo. I'm torn between getting cash or trade for this now.

Thanks to all who replied!

Well, for an update: I got the gun. It's immaculate, and I couldn't of asked for a gun to be in better shape from a trade as this one is. It's going up on the block though, I just don't like the caliber it's chambered in. It's not my style. Love the gun, just hate the ammo, go figure.

Anyhow, I feel like I got a great deal. The guy drove to ME 150 miles round trip to take a lesser gun than his on trade. Crazy. I figure now, I'll just try to get a bit of cash or a nice trade for it. Just wanted to share with my INGO bro's AND sisters

Later guys

Oh, anyone care for pics?
