My police trade-in buys.
Beretta 92F made in '87, some holster wear, all I did was change the recoil spring. Haven't had any issues with it. Paid around $350, very happy with it.
S&W Model 10 4" HB, made in '79. Quite a bit of holster wear. Timing and lock up seems okay, bought it from J&G sales. Paid around $240, there are better deals on GB then you know exactly what you are getting.
S&W Model 64 NY1 4" HB DAO made in '91, some holster wear but overall in very good condition. paid $310 (from J&G also) I haven't shot it or the Model 10 yet, too many other weekend projects, plan on taking them out this weekend. Pretty happy with it, will know more once I shoot it.
Most police trade-ins aren't bad buys as long as you can deal with some wear. They are also usually maintained regularly (depends on the department though) If they have the option of handpick for an extra $10, it would be worth it.
