He'll probably buy it from the same guy who pays $550 for your pistol.
You honestly think $550 is out of line for a HK USPc? There is a guy asking $800 for a stainless one on here, I see USPc listed for $600-$700 pretty often. I feel that $550 was a pretty darn good deal on someones part seeing as how they sell for $800 - $900 new.
$550 was actually pretty fair for LNIB if that is what it was. You can however do much better with a little leg work (I know, I bought one recently). Oh & now that H&K are making the USP with stainless slides again the older ones *should* go down accordingly.

$550 for a LNIB USPc is a great deal! I figured I would get talked down a bit so I figured I would let it go for $540-$520 but not less than that. It was not in great condition, it needs a refinish and its good as new. I felt the price wasnt out of line after seeing what people are asking for them these days.

It came with four 15 rnd mags ($90), a comp-tac iwb ($80), 200 rounds of ammo ($50) and this total also included my ffl fee ($25), cash advance credit card charge ($30) and the shipping ($25). That made the gun itself $350. It was definitely a deal, and I was very glad to get it, BUT there are plenty of them out there (used USP's & deals). You're right a lot of these are listed at silly money, but with good used prices on the latest HK45/P30/L/s you would have to be crackers to pay them IMO. Of course I am talking straight USPs/USPcs not tacticals and alike.
Either drop the price or keep it. They are great guns and I would do the latter. JMO
Im just going to keep it until the market becomes more normal. I might list the nice USPc I have instead of my older one. I like the older one a bit better anyhow.

Thank you Keith.
Everyone else, please PM if you have a complete .223/5.56mm upper you want to sell for a fair price. I'm patient. I'm sure I'll get one for $200 (or less) before the end of the year if the economy continues this way.
