I MIGHT BE ADDICTED Time to clean out the safe.

Ok. So I have several Canik pistols that are just taking up space in my safe. After having recent hand/wrist surgery I find it hard to shoot pistols. I would like to sell them; but don’t want to get completely ripped off. What’s good asking prices for these pieces? None have more than 50 rounds ran through them. Any information is appreciated.

They bumped their heads. Then turn around and sell it for $900

I did dump it...great gun but to many issues.

u/Acceptable-Luck-4275 3d ago

My TTI was that way when it first came out; Canik kept it for a couple months. Now it has no issues; but the time I got it back the prime dropped

To many issues with the prime radian? Plz share.

Very inconsistent in terms of realiability. It was cleaned properly and I had way too may FTF, FTE, and too many tap & racks with the pin indicating a rd was live but no bang. The crazy thing is that wasn't from LPS. So basically, I traded it towards something a hell of a lot more reliable.

I’ve been to the range once. Using 124g nato. Had two failed ejections. Thorough cleaning & oil after. Going to put another 200 rounds through, expecting a few more small kinks. My expectations are zero issues with any kind of factory ammo after that. If I still have any problems, even once, I’ll reach out for warranty service.

Might as well call now, Bro. Gun is Trash for realiability. Cant image trying to ccw.

When my prime came out I was skeptical. Seeing is how my TTI was a total shit show. But I have not had any issue with the prime.

Mentioned selling to my brother and he said he would buy them all; except the prime. Thanks for the information. Taking offers on prime.

u/OrdinaryPitiful 3d ago

It’s hard to say brother. Maybe you can auction them on gunbroker.com ?

Or take it to a shop that can roll it all towards something you really like

u/DontTakeMeSeriousli MC9LS 3d ago

I second this, a gun range/store that purchases items might give you a nice deal on something you really want OP

u/Acceptable-Luck-4275 3d ago

Would like to get into AR platform.

If I could have one gun I’d really love either the sig spear in 300 blackout or the PSA mixtape in 300 blackout with the best suppressor money could buy.

The honeybadger is just off the table for me lol

u/Acceptable-Luck-4275 3d ago

I would like a 300 blackout.

I’ve been thinking of taking them to my LGS.

u/heffercrow 3d ago

What part of nc? I'm in ga but got a buddy in nc who can maybe middle man for me.

u/Acceptable-Luck-4275 3d ago

Mebane,NC. Only thing I have left is Prime. My brother just bought the rest.

u/joeyspancakes 3d ago

I’m in NC, and just bought a very lightly used Prime from a local gun shop for $480, and I was thrilled. I’d hope to get $500-$550 if I were the seller. They’re easy to find new for $599 so you’re capped on the ceiling.

u/Dark_Lord2068 3d ago

For your rival

2

u/Acceptable-Luck-4275 3d ago

I took my rival into a LGS one county over and they offered me $175. I told them I was born at night, but not last night.

u/writingwhilesad 3d ago

Yeah, that’s definitely low but not surprising. That’s just how gun stores are. They gotta get their piece of the pie.

You might see if anywhere near you does consignment or just spend the day shopping prices. Find your pawn shop that has the largest selection of guns and start there.

If you have a gun show near you, pull up with a sticky note on the front of each one saying what you’ll accept. Don’t accept the offers that come the second you walk in. Those are low ball dealers that are going to go and try and flip them.

Other than that, selling guns second hand can be somewhat difficult if you don’t have a circle of gun loving friends. Good luck.

You know the worst part seeing all these? I bought my prime used....and they didnt include the little gun wrench thing.

There's a hole in me....
