    While browsing, I noticed something strange... a seller on gunbroker appears to be selling his Glock 19 for $735 in four seperate auctions. I've never seen anyone do this.

    The slide, barrel and spring: $430
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=280904810

    The complete lower: $250
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=280951025

    The box & manual: $18
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=281002488

    The mags and loader: $37
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=281023003

    The seller appears to have done this with a number of guns. More power to him if he can find buyers, but I think it's kind of ridiculous.

    He's optimistic, too!

    What will suck for him is if he sells the lower half and gets stuck with an upper that now matches nothing.

    I think with a Glock that's a little silly, but that's the only way I could sell my right-handed Blackout. As a complete rifle, I couldn't get $900 for it, but parted out, I got $760 just for the upper, *alone*.

    I have parted out a few cars, its easy to make money on a car. There are not enough parts on a gun to make it worth while with reasonable prices...

    He's being creative. I've always been amazed at prices I get for items on eBay. I just sold a Bushnell Holosight that I bought new for $250 and used for 2 years for $270 this week.

    notice how he has no bids, and i expect he wont get any on the main parts. someone might buy the mags, but i dont expect someone to buy half a gun at those prices.

    someone mentioned getting stuck with the upper "which doesnt match anything". does this matter? if you sell (or buy) a gun, do all of the serials HAVE to match? and which part is the regulated part? the upper or the lower?

    It doesn't matter. But if you don't have a Glock frame, a Glock upper is only really effective as a paperweight.

    The lower is the firearm.

    No, nothing has to match, but some European manufacturers like to serialize everything. I know H&K for example serializes barrel, slide, and frame and uses date codes, all in German tradition.

    cant you still sell the upper for someone to use on a lower? or use the upper on a different upper? i dont see why it becomes useless.

    Yeah, but how often to people really need a new Glock slide and barrel? Sometimes, I'm sure, but it's not like selling an AR upper.

    Also, if someone were to buy a new upper/lower for their Glock and decides to sell it later. I wouldn't buy a mismatched Glock unless it was REALLY cheap. Like, $100 or something. There's too many perfectly matching used Glocks out there.

    I joined GSSF ($80 for 3 years) and bought a new gen4 19 for $399, and plan on getting a 17 next year and then something else the year after and then letting my membership lapse, GSSF is well worth the price of admission :innocent0

    And this has what to do with the topic at hand?
