Is it OK to ask value questions now???

November 20, 2022, 05:02 PM

Seems like we did not do that at one time, but I can not remember for sure. I am aging out and selling off some of the stuff I can no longer shoot due to arthritis. Have questions about P220 2 tone and .22LR conversion kit. I intend to put them on classifieds here within a couple months, but do not know where to begin. Thanks...

Price checks: SIGforum allows no price checks. Price check inquiries signal that a member is seeking the value of an item in preparation for selling it, and this is tantamount to selling outside of Classifieds, which is prohibited.

stiab, I'll make an exception in this instance. Go ahead and ask your questions.

Thanks Para. I have a 1997 Factory 2 tone P220 .45 safe queen with the correctly marked box and manual, 2 original mags, contrast sights. It is in excellent condition. No rail of course. All springs are strong, at age 76 I have trouble racking the slide and loading the mags, am thinking asking $895.

Also have the complete factory .22LR conversion kit, plastic case and outer paper box, 3 mags (2 unopened). it works great. I'm thinking $400 for this item.

Don't need exact numbers, just would appreciate knowing if I'm in the ballpark. Will put them on classifieds before end of year. Thanks...

For the pistol, I would go $750. But your price might be fine to someone wanting a pristine older gun. No idea on the value of the .22 kit.

Check completed sales on Gun Broker.

Thanks, but that typically only works for common guns, IMO. GB does not list any recent sales for a 2 tone P220, so no help there.

Sorry for pointing this out and, maybe unnecessarily, but you're a class act.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

From what I can see, the .22lr kit is discontinued. I found a couple of sites with the price still visible. Seems it was a 250.00 item when available. I saw one sale at 430.00 and another for auction on GB starting at 350.00. Buy it now at 700.00 with no bidders yet. A store local to me lists one they sold at 340.00. I hope this helps a little.

Over the years there were many variations especially in the styles of packaging. There were also content differences. I can describe my version but I can’t begin to remember what I paid unless Rhino remembers. Earlier kits had metal magazines, not the recent plastic ones..

Thanks, when I search it is shown as discontinued on places like Bud's, Top Gun, Midway, etc. The only one I can find for sale is for $1295 on Ebay with 5 mags, I have 3 mags. I'm sure that is an inappropriate price, but have no clue what is, and don't want to waste anybody's time with a too high price.

Blue Book for a 220:

98%. 735.00. Add 103.00 for two tone

22 conversion : Add 339.00 for recent conversion
Add 680.00 for old conversion kit

Hope this helps, real world may differ.

Thanks, I assume the 735 + 103 does not include box and docs, which I have, so the 895 I mentioned above is probably a good starting place. I'll put it on classifieds for that, and try to work out a package deal for the conversion kit.

Thanks for the input, and thanks Para for allowing the question.
