Anyone have a clue? Item:10899750 HECKLER & KOCH ~ HK USP .45 TACTICAL...Threaded Barrel, Night Sights...AS NEW! For Sale at GunAuction.com

Maybe two people wanted it and it became a "you wont out bid me" thing. Other than that maybe ignorance!

I have to say the seller took great pictures of that tactical.

I have no clue. The only thing I see different is that is has Heinie sights and not the stock adjustable. I didn't see a starting bid. I have been seeing this lately, people trying top get double or triple out of guns, even Hk, that IMO are not valued at the outrageous prices.

Nice pictures do a lot to sell a gun. I'm not sure what new tacticals are selling for with the plastic clamshell case, but the tactical case with cleaning kit, and heinie sights add about $350 - $400 to the cost of the gun. That in my book should bring the gun into the $1,400 range max.

Its a used Tactical, I dont think its worth any more than $950 - a fool and his money are soon parted. I do see a USP .45 on this board asking $700 more than its worth...some sellers think we are dummys and dont know what these pieces are really worth??

I agree on both points.

I ordered a NEW mark 23 for just a little more delivered out the door!

Jack the dog is a great seller and whoever photographs his guns does a great job. I bought a pre war Colt Government Model off of him that I was very happy with.

 

[J2USP45]

Just because of the pics I would want to bid haha...

greed?????????????

It's the bidders who drove the price up to that ridiculous number, not the seller. I've seen reloading equipment bid up on Ebay for more than you could buy it brand-new for. People get emotional, and take it personally when someone outbids them. They have to "win" at all costs, or their ego takes a hit. Thing is, many of these types of "winning bids" never get consumated. The bidder bids the price up as high as it takes to "win" the battle, but then never actually buys the item.

If the "buyer" actually pays $1,820 for that pistol (I'd be surprised), then great for the savvy seller, but chances are high that the "buyer" will never consummate this deal.

All of that having been said, that's a beautiful Tactical. Never been partial to Heinie sights before, but those look really good.

I agree. Just watching those pics makes me want to dig my out of the safe.

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Hope the buyer is not too dissapointed!!

 

[Stringfellow]

It's situations like this that are starting to devalue Gunbroker in my eyes. It gets old when the same guy lists the same used pistol, at the same 50% premium over its market value, over and over and over. Its tiresome to wade through listing after listing when that is the situation.

Like was said before. Im sure Jack the Dog has nothing to do with this auction going this way. He sells a lot of guns and some that bring a lot more money than a USP 45 Tac. If he was going to inflate some prices you would see it on some of his other more collectible firearms. No telling what the reasoning is behind the high price of it, only the lucky buyer knows. Jack the Dog only sells on Auctionarms that i am aware of. Top notch seller.
