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

YODiggity:
One place to look is the national firearms market that is provided at www.gunbroker.com. This website will be about as close to the current national market pricing for firearms as can be obtained.
You could look for a comparable firearm and see how the bidding is going on those guns that are currently listed. Also, the Buy It Now price, actual selling price of comparables, and the total lack of bids on certain guns all provide a high-low range of prices for a gun. It will trade somewhere in that range.
The $379 price is pretty good if that Glock 27 isn't a total beater. Just compare it to the price of the same gun new at Guns Unlimited or Cabelas.

Yes.... Definitely, Gunbroker.com gives you realistic ideas of what people ACTUALLY Pay for guns.
Don't trust the "gun values books", or lame auction sites like Auction Arms.com where hardly anyone is buying and selling
m0par:
Another option: If you're registered on gunbroker.com you can search completed auctions to see what things have sold for. Otherwise, you can look at the current auctions and see what others are asking/bidding.
A quick look shows several used Glock 27's (don't know what generations) have sold for $350 to $400 over the past few months.
ETA: Oops, spent too much time looking on gunbroker, and SemperFiGuy beat me to it.
Gunscribe:
I do not pay any attention to the starting bids or buy it now prices. I watch a number of auctions through to closing. The sold for price people are willing to pay is what I consider the value. Remember any thing sold on the auction also comes with a $20-50 shipping charge and a $20-50 dealer transfer fee.
