Best place to get good trade-in value?

I have a G30 and a First Edition PPS that I want to trade for a different model of Glock + cash.

I'm looking for an honest shop in south Florida that will:

1. Give me a fair price on both of the trade-ins.

2. Will sell me the new Glock at a fair price.

Also, how much do you think I should expect to get for the G30 and the First Edition PPS (with metal case + mags and additional backstrap).

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I'm not sure if he buys collectibles but if you want a great price on a Glock check out Ted Galanski Firearms in WPB. It's a small shop but the owner is the friendliest proprietor I have ever met and he usually has at least one of each model in stock. He's also able to order anything and have it there in a day or two. I called/visited about 10 shops and couldn't find a better price than his by a long shot on my new G-19.

you'd be better off selling it outright,gun shops dont usually give you anywhere what its worth
Seconded. You could try going to a gun show wearing a sign saying what you're selling or looking to trade.

Any dealer is going to want to give you less than full value so they and turn a profit when they resell your guns. They don't buy and sell guns just for the fun of it.

He's in WPB, here is a link to his Google Maps;

I really can't recommend this shop enough. Really nice guy and willing to deal at great prices. I find myself stopping in for whatever excuse I can muster up just to chat. I was just going through the pictures he has on the listing and it appears I'm there so often that my car is sitting in front of his shop. :)

If you want a quick and easy trade, by far it's budsgunshop.com. This place is awesome; amazing prices on new guns, and fair prices for buying your used gun. I had a Walther PPS that I wanted to trade for a Glock 27. Shoot straight told me I would have to pay them $300+ with the trade. Buds was almost break even. Not even close. You may be able to get more privately, but Buds will be the quickest and easiest way. I buy ALL my guns here. No local dealer comes close.
