fair trade?

[ADT knights]

I went to the indy 1500 gun show yesterday and traded my s&w 9mm sigma that I bought new at the show in early '09 for a new xd 40. I bought the s&w for 319+ tax and the xd was marked 480+tax. it cost me 200 for the upgrade and I also included 2 holsters I had ($50 total) and felt I got a very good deal from the guys at PLAINFIELD SHOOTERS SUPPLY. was it as good of a deal as i think or no?

If you are happy, then it was a good deal. Sounds fair on the prices anyway.
Did you just throw in the holsters, or did it knock some $ off?

holsters were included from the start... one guy offered me 200 for what i had, another offered me a 200 difference but the xd didnt come with the holster, mag holster, or ez mag loader (i was told it was new but older ones had the gear option) and it was priced at 420+tax. i am happy with my trade. I was able to sell my 9mm fmj and jhp rounds to a friend for a fair price he offered. so im 9mm free and ready to start with the 40. now all i need to do is get an iwb holster and paddle holster bc i dont like the xd gear holster that much. most importantly i need to find a range or area to shoot my new gun bc i refuse to go to Don's and pay 25 to shoot my own gun

Don't analyze it to much. If you feel you got a fair trade leave it at that and enjoy your new firearm.

I predict that after you shoot the XD and the love starts to set in, there will be no question in your mind.

Actually the older Xd's did not come with gear. My Dad bought his about 5-6 years ago, and it was the gun only. I bought mine in 08, and got the gear. May I ask who told you the new Xd's do not come with the gear?

I agree with this. I used to do this all the time, then came to the same realization. Every deal you do isn't going to be the earth shattering deal of the century but as long as your happy with what you got, that is what matters.

This. I'm never overly concerned about $$$ in a trade. My concern is whether I'm getting what I want, and I assume the other party is too, or they wouldn't finalize the trade. I've made some trades where folks would think I lost my shirt, but I was happy anyway because I had what I wanted.

Hay it you like it that is all that matters the xd is a great gun happy shooting

 

[JohnP82]

Sounds fair to me. You got what you wanted and seem happy so that is all that matters. Congrats on the new gun.

 

[jonny4523]

In my opinion, you traded up. Never was a fan of the sigmas.

 

[baldmax]

Good to go. I love my XDs.

 

[Ford2685]

yeah you did ok buddy, might i add that you should go get a .357 sig barrel and REALLY enjoy that puppy!!!

As far as a place to shoot, go to Marion County Fish & Game Association

let me reword my statement .... it was a new gun (never owned or shot besides factory and dealer) but not new like they (the dealer) just got in new in an order last month.

Ok gotcha just wanted to make sure, they did not try and screw you! Enjoy your Xd, I know I love mine.

Great Trade! I'm confident that you'll agree the first time you shoot the XD. You'll definietely notice a easier and better feeling trigger. Those Sigma's need some major trigger work. Enjoy the XD. Don't underestimate the S&W line due to the poor performance of the Sigma series. The M&P line is Great!
