Are early Glocks collectible?

[Huntfish918]

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

How much are you asking for the whole package?

My 17 came with the original Tupperware box with all paperwork and tools. Still has the sticker on the lid and the warning about the loaded pistol because of the locator in the box that could fire the pistol. Lots of older boxes on auction site for well under $50

Sure Plastic Glocks, beanie babies, and plastic Rural King ponies.

GT was not that helpful, I remember seeing somewhere a compilation of recent gunbroker sales, some were over 10k for an original gen 1 with a prefix beginning in A, this would be original pencil barrel, unfired in the original box, with manual, warranty card and paper work.

Initially I was told my Glock was basically worthless, so I thought what the heck I'll just have some fun with it and customize it. I started looking at stipple tools, a barrel and comp, etc. I was doing a transfer at a gun shop and mentioned the Glock to the owner and he said those have become collectible. I had not purchased the Glock with any thought of collectability, so you can see the problem with misinformation

Some people collect Pez dispensers. There's a market for just about anything.

If you want to sell it and get what its worth I recommend Gunbroker. .01 start with no reserve for 2 weeks ought to decide what its worth. Very nice complete example and quite collectible.

They are collectible by some people for sure. A 1st gen Glock 19 is high dollar and very rare.

I know one person who shot his finger putting a loaded Glock back into one of those boxes. He was visited in the hospital by a LEO who was inquiring, as expected.

My local friend ( who I trust ) is a Glock collector and FFL.
He puts the OPs gun in the $750 range.

I saw one on gunbroker like mine go to $2,500 and a no sale, didn't meet reserve. The majority of the Gen 1's I've seen are high mileage police trade ins. I have not seen a gen 1 of any kind in awhile
