I don't like the idea of buying semi-auto pistols used. There could be a lot wrong w/ them that won't be noticeable.
I disagree, given the manufacturer is well-known and respected. I would have no problem buying a used S&W, Glock, Ruger, Walther, HK, FN, etc. Now, buying a used Hi Pernt or Taurus would give me pause (not that those are necessarily on the same plane though).
As for the guns' values, find the average market price of a new one on Gun Broker and then deduct about 20-30% for depreciation. For an extremely high round count (1000s of rounds) the depreciation would probably be around 50%.

That might be ok if you believed the reason for selling. Some semi-autos are going to have problems no matter the manufacturer. Those are the ones that get sold quite often. Also, if you don't know the rounds through it, you might be looking at recoil, mainspring, etc. replacement. Revolvers on the other hand i like buying used unless its during S&W's crap period. They actually sold revolvers in the nineties w/ canted barrels.
