Hi-Power Value Question ASAP

[youngda9]

I have the opportunity to purchase a NIB Browning Hi-Power for $???. It is all black with black molded grips. It looks like a great gun, and I know people love them. It comes with box and papers and 2 mags, one is extended.

What is the going rate for these guns? I was thinking about flipping it but wanted to make sure it was worth it.

Please respond asap as I am going back to the show in a few minutes.

Is is a Belgium Hi Power, fixed sites, blue, etc... Price varies on HPs.

It is says made in Belgium on the side. I believe it has an adjustable rear sight but I'm not sure. If you know the value of both, that would greatly help.

Sounds like one of the newer versions, I don't think extended mags were any larger than thirteen in the past. Value can vary a lot on the older pistols.

What would be a fair price?

If it's a Belgium Hi Power with adj sights I've seen them in the $600-700 range, FS a little less. The guns assembled in Portagul run a little less. That's just off the top of my head though. Look on GunsAmerica real quick for an idea. I'm sure others know more than I do. HPs are excellent weapons btw.

thanks a lot!

Are they making this gun again?

I thought it was worth more like 800+. The price is $650, but at a gun show price is always negotiable

Thank you Colt556 for your help.

I think I'll pass on it.

I just found it on the browning website. It appears to be a Mark III in 9mm. Looks same as the picture. I didn't know they were making these again.

I just looked. It looks like some HP prices have gone up since I checked last, need to crack open my safe!! But anyway good luck and let us know how is goes.

See if Bud's has them. HPs are very good shooters for a gun designed in 1935. John Browning new his stuff.

$650 for a NIB mkIII is probably a fair price. I don't think it is a steal or price worthy of trying to flip. MkIII is a great shooter. I have one myself. But not collectable like the blues Belgium ones.
