M&P pricing from person to person?

[brentt2010]

Im looking to pick up a M&P soon and am stuck between the 9 mm and 40 Cal. im also looking into the pricing of them from person to person. anybody with any ideas?

Do you want new or used? Shop around for the best price you will want to spend. Look into the what you want to do with the pistol and the price of .40 and 9MM ammo may help with the decision for the purchase.

I'll sell an M&P 9 to you for $700. Gently used. And include a third mag.

Nice.... rip-off.

OP, for a person-to-person transaction, I always go check out the price of a new gun on Bud's website, figure what my costs including transfer would be, and then decide what kind of discount I'd be looking for off of brand new if it's a used gun.

Also, even if you can't use the INGO classified's yet, if you can browse it, it's also a great resource to see what the going asking prices are for a similar gun.

In your case, the cash price including shipping for a brand new, fullsize 9mm M&P from Bud's is $441. Figure another $25 for a transfer from your local dealer, bringing you to $466, and then decide, based on condition what you would pay someone for a used gun. For a standard M&P, I probably wouldn't go more than the neighborhood of $400 for a well-taken-care-of example.

I looked at the classified's and everything listed is in the $450 neighborhood. I wouldn't pay this for a used gun, when I could get a new one for $465-475.

Here you go, $429.99 + FFL:

SMITH AND WESSON MP9 9MM FULL SIZE NO THUMB SAFETY @ Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore:

Just bought a 9mm M&P VTAC through them and was happy with the experience.

I'll sell you a brand new one for $750 so don't let Indy Guy rip you off!

I shoot both 9 and 40. I can place multiple rounds faster with the 9 and the magazine holds more rounds. I like them both, but to choose one, I'll take the 9.

I sold mine (unfired, NIB) for around $400 not long ago. We sell them new at the shop at $509.95. Anywhere in that range would be reasonable, IMO.

There! I fixed it for you! You shouldn't forget the purple!

And I bought it from you! It was $450 though. But if you wish you had sold it for $400 instead you can send me $50 back . Good purchase. I like it a lot.

I paid $499 for mine last year at this time. I would expect to pay close to that for a like new condition used one from a private party if you value not having to fill out a form.

It doesn't matter to me if I have to fill out a form or not so I would pay around $400 for a used one in good condition.

I am looking for a Shield and was surprised to find that 2 out of the 3 shops I called today had them in stock. (just a side note..)

 

[sescbo]

I sold my M&P 9c a couple months ago for $460. My buddy sold his full size 9mm recently for around $450-$475 I think.

 

[X piller X]

got mine for 510ish? best price i could find from all the lgs

 

[Hoosierdood]

A used M&P is going to be in the neighborhood of $375-425 from a private party. I wouldn't give $425 unless it was in like new condition. You can find new pistols at the local gun stores in the $479-509 range. I know my shop sells them for $499.

 

[StunnedMonkey]

I'll sell you a brand new one for $750 so don't let Indy Guy rip you off!

I'll sell you mine for $800, but not a penny more. Only ~300 rounds through it!

But seriously, I bought mine new locally at ZX Guns for only $479. To me, even for a pristine "not new" M&P, I'd not pay more than $400. Past that point and I'd rather have factory new for not that much more.

Remember, smith has updated some internal parts and changed barrel twist recently to address some accuracy and trigger issues. Buy new. As new as you can get, like, born on test fire whatever date in late '13 or 14.

You can search the m&p sear to see the difference.

I posted this previously, but it seemed to get lost in the shuffle. Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore has the full size M&P 9 with or without thumb safety for $429.99 and if you add in the price of an FFL from your LGS, you should be around $450 - $455 total price for a brand new M&P. If you're looking for new, that's about as good as it gets.

Seems to me they have been dropping in price. Is the Core dropping too? Sales down for M&Ps. Stock for S&W not looking good right now.

The only CORE I saw on their site was $589.99, but I don't know what they've been selling for.
