There could be a hair line fracture in the frame or the top strap that can't be seen visibly, so unless you bring a magnifying glass and examine it very closely you can't be certain. People bring junk like that into pawn shops all the time, and they seek to dump it off on which ever idiot will buy it. The average gun buyer isn't going to examine it under that scrutiny.

Glock 27, $525 new:

Which means you could get them for $400-$425 used.
