Are early Glocks collectible?

I purchased the gun/pistol in 1987 and didn't use it much, being more comfortable with revolvers and 1911 style with a manual safety. Glock experts told me the gun would only be worth $260 to $400 and the box and manual almost worthless.
YES, there’s a collectors market for them.
A guy local to me would maybe be interested if you decide to part with it.

I would compare a collectable glock to a collectable remington 870 wingmaster 12 gage shotgun. There are soo many 870s out there, that even the old ones aren't worth much. Same with glocks.
In 2017 a Gen 1 Glock 17 brought $6700 at auction; others brought $2000 to $2500.
Gen 1 Glock 19s fetch $5k In some places.
The devil is in the details. Folks not familiar with a Single Six would scoff at price differences not knowing a NM is vastly different than a RSSE.

.They should lock the person up in a padded room and throw away the key
Well, there’s lots of gun brands and other things I don’t care for either but it don’t mean they’re worthless.
There’s an ass for every seat as my car salesman friend always said.

I love glocks, but when I can buy a new G17 for $539 at Cabela's, $6,500 is insane.

I had a Gen 1 17L I sold for $1,000 about 10 years ago - in the tupperware no papers. I bought it for $150 so I thought I was doing good. It was from the second batch because it didn't have the vented barrel that were prone to cracking. I still have my very early Gen 2 19 with the desirable Austrian proof marks. Bought it new so I still have all the papers and tupperware box - but I did pull the gaudy labels off the box when I got it.

Not true. Maybe not to you.

I have a Gen 2 17 with box, book, and 2 17 rd u notch mags. Paid 465 for it a month ago. I think I can get 700 for it. The u notch mags are becoming collector items. Also have a Gen 2 19 made in 98 with 2 ban era 10 rd mags. The 17 was made in 88. I really like no rail.
No one has mentioned it, but I suspect that early Glocks might also have value as "pre-ban" guns in some jurisdictions. There is currently a glut of AR15s on the market (just like Glocks), but pre-ban ARs, even when they're not Colts, often sell for substantially higher prices than more recent production.
...and another thought - the first Glocks apparently were produced in the early 1980s, so in 10 years or less some of them will become official "Curios & Relics". C&R firearms may sell for a premium, because they can often (depending on State law) be sold & shipped directly to folks with Type 03 (C&R) FFLs.

Is it for sale?

As someone commented, "non ported barrel prone to cracking....," for a thousand dollars.....insanity. Yes... there truly is a sucker born every moment.

Yes, I tried selling, but got more offers for just the box, tools and manual, over $1500
