Can anyone with a blue book tell me what my H&K USP Comact .45 is worth?

I have original case, gun lock in bag, manual. 2 mags and everything is just great.

Thanks a bunch.

Not worth a dime. Send it to me & I'll dispose of it properly. :D :D

Seriously,
100% - $725.00
98% - 575.00
95% - 495.00

The problem with the Blue book is that condition is subjective. No dealer is ever going to agree that your gun is 98% unless it's new, unfired and in original box. If you put one round downrange a dealer is going to say it's 95%.
Selling a gun is like selling a car. If you find the one guy that can't live without it you'll get good money for it, but if you go to trade it in, you'll lose a bunch of $.

Im thinking about selling outright to a friend.

He wants a good handgun for home defense primarily.

I'm looking to sell the H&K and move to a kimber or XD - smaller easier to conceal.

I figure my USPC would be a good buy since it has a rail for a tac-light --> which would be great for home defense IMHO.

I'm going to give him honest advice, and if something else is a better fit, then I will point him that way.

$575 is what I bought it for from Champion firearms, and I haven't used it much at all. Keep it real clean and nice and pretty. Thats probably what I'll ask for it.

Go to gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com and see what they are selling for. Should give you a good idea of the "real world" price.
