Good Trade?

[Cryozombie]

I recently purchased an almsot brand new HK USP compact 9mm for 150 bucks.

Someone is now offering to trade me a complete Lower Reciever for an AR-15 AND 150 bucks for it.

Obviously Id be coming out "ahead" of what I paid for the HK, the question is value... Is the trade WORTH what he is offering me...? Id like some opinions, cuz I dont really know the Value of the HK.

Hmm. Since I am getting a fully assembled lower, we'll say 250, +150 = $400.

The USP is worth 7.

But I only paid 150.

Hmm. Hmm.

Where did you find someone dumb enough to sell you that HK for $150? And where can Ifind him if he has more and they are not hot.. and BTW you did check the gun with the cops to make sure it's not hot?

It was one of the students at the Dojo I train at. She is a Lawyer, so I doubt its hot. And she gave me that deal because she backed into my car and smashed the front end in, and I told her not to worry about it, and didnt make her pay. (My car was a POS, I had no intention of fixing it, I was driving it into the ground. I succeeded last week.)

Do you have an AR upper already or will you wind up buying that too?

Id need to buy one. Thats gonna run me about 270.00

 

[Tgace]

Which weapon do you think you will get more use out of??

 

[Cryozombie]

Id prolly Use the HK more, Id prolly ENJOY the AR more.

The more I think about it, tho, the more I think its a bad trade.

I have an AR...love it, but hardly get the chance to use it anymore....personally Id stay with the handgun...unless you have the $$$ to blow on toys....then what the heck go for it.
