"Trade-in" meaning used?Moonlighter’s correct.
Personally, *unless you “must” have a Gen 5* there are way too many like new, perfectly suitable le trade-ins for under $350, such as:
17 Gen 4 9mm W/ 2 Mags & Case
Glock 17 Gen 4 9mm W/ 2 Mags & Case for sale from Kings Online.www.kingsfirearmsonline.com
Find the FFL of your choice local to you, shop for what the charge to do transfers, email a copy of that FFL’s license to online vendor, order the gun online shipped to your FFL and you can get a great Gen 4 for well under $400

Unless it has been run over by a truck, or used as a hammer for a few years, at worst you might need to replace the recoil spring assembly on them and MAYBE the striker spring. If you know what you are doing one is a 30 second job and the other about a 4 minute job. If you don't know, it is 4 minutes and 10 minutes including the time to youtube.Very hard to do or find, with Glocks
