Where do you look for values so you don't get ripped off?

Where do you guys look to see if a gun for sale is a good deal or if they're trying to rip you off?
I'm looking at a used Glock 27 in really good shape. It comes with a holster (which I don't much care about) and they want $379 for it. Thoughts?

Blue book of gun values.

David Hineline:
On current production guns, I compare to new cost, figure in availability and wait times to get a new one.

The gun you are looking at is $100 under dealer cost for a new unit, $150 under dealer cost if it has fresh night sights like a new gun would, if the gun is 12yrs old the night sights are dead and you are looking about $100 to replace them.

If you have to have Glock Gen 4 then you have to pay premium to find a newish gun.

If I was buying for my shop I would be in around $300 and sell around the price you were offered.

No, the generation of it doesn't matter much. I have 2 Gen 2's and I love them. I don't even know what generation this 27 is. I'm not entirely positive what the differences are between them anyway. I just know that in my experience, Glock is a no nonsense weapon that fires each and every time I pull the trigger. That's what I like - simple and reliable. And it doesn't hurt that they aren't incredibly expensive.

Chris Z:
Glock 27's are only made Generation 3 and Generation 4

$379 for a Glock 27 (if in good condition) is a good price
