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.
Thanks for the uncalled for comment anyhow.

$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.

The fact that you couldn't find a buyer suggests otherwise.
The market is what the market is.

Did I say mine was LNIB? I priced it a bit more than I really wanted. I found a buyer anyhow at $540

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.

You have hijacked the OP's thread. Either provide information for him on an upper or create your own thread.

A $200 complete upper is going to be as easy to find as a leprechaun's gold.
If you'll spend $500, you can probably get a nice one from here:

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.

The AR market seems to be coming back to reality so I'm bumping this again.
Please only offers and commercial leads in this thread. There are plenty of other threads outside the Market board for discussions.

This seriously seems like Mission Impossible 5
I just purchased a BCG Daniel Defense, and it was $200 out the door.
for just that little piece of metal
I seriously can't imagine finding a $200 complete upper out in the wild. In good shape
