HK Novice - input on value needed P7M8

[damngato]

I admittedly am a novice when it comes to the P7 line but have the opportunity to pick one up. I only have the pictures below. The gentlemen says it will come with the box, 2 magazines and the cleaning tool. Look in the pictures it looks like it might have a little holster wear but that could be reflection. He said it is in very good condition and from the items I have purchased from him before he takes good care of his stuff.

What would be a fair price? I know they are expensive but not sure what is reasonable

Thanks in advance

I'd say under $3k would be a good deal

[LaFlamaBlanca]

under $2k is even better

In this environment, a real world California price would probably be between $2500-3000. If you can get it for less than you will be ahead. Over 3 grand I would walk away.

Looks like a 90s era M8. $1800-2800 seems like a good average. Make sure to inspect the bore and gas piston/channel. If he allows you to remove the grips, check the grip lever and springs.

bec of the condition of that P7 i wouldn't pay over $2K for it. if it were unfired and complete then that's another story. judging by the amount of pistols you post here you should have started your P7 collection years ago

I agree^.
I wouldn't pay more than $2k

Hmmmm, I’d buy them all day in that condition for 2K. Good luck finding a pistol like that at or under 2K.

OP that pistol is worth $2500 in CA

[audiction]

the issues is the condition. i wouldn't mind paying premium on a P7 but not with that pistol. i'd even pass up on that if i were the OP. now if it were priced $1,800-$2k then it's something i might snag. i've seen P7s in better condition than that for $2k. maybe $2,500 it didn't have holster wear...just saying. last year i saw a p7m8 at greta's guns simi valley for $1,800 and it was in great shape.

$1500 - $1700 is a fair price

2500 is price gouger pricing

Condition is everything and those pics absolutely suck. So there is no way to give an informed opinion.

You're right, I'm embarrassed and have brought shame upon my family Somehow every time one has come up I have found some other project to throw funds at.


I appreciate all the insight. I knew it wasn't smoking deal at $2,400 but wasn't sure what FMV was. He has a discontinued duty coat Valor .45 I'm looking at which might be a better fit for me.

Thanks again all

Geez, those things used to be pretty cheap. Cheap enough for me to consider buying one. Felt too weird to me.

They're excellent pistols! great engineering, very accurate and durable.
Great as a CCW piece, very concealable. A used one in "excellent" condition
with the box. tools and manual can fetch between 2K-2.5K.
