Not a steal, but it's probably about market value. Look on gunbroker.com and you will see the same gun minus the hogue grips between $640-760 in like new/ or NIB for the latter. If he has any extra mag's or add'l accessories, then it might not be a bad deal.

At $500 the PT1911 makes sense for some people. At $700 it makes sense for not very many people.

The day I pay $700 for a Taurus there will be flying pigs circling the sale.

Actually according to Gunbroker, that's in the ballpark.
Of course that doesn't mean you (or anyone in their right mind) should actually pay that. $700 will buy you a damn fine used Springfield. |

Now that these have been around for a while, how are they holding up?
It's kind of hard to pass up a 1911 with a rail for less than $700. |

Didn't these come out at $500? What's changed to add $200 to the value?

I liked mine but it ain't worth $700, metal seems weak, started having problems after 1000rds. I admit ones with the rail usually aren't cheap. Kinda thought S&W sold one with a rail in that price range. |

A new one should be less than that. At least where I'm at they are.

700.00 is bit high.
I paid 500.00 for my Stainless (used of course) and I'm very happy with it though. If it's as new as seller says, maybe 550.00-600.00 for a railed model. |

New ones cost less than that, I I think may still come with a mail in discount. (It's Too high by at least $150)

He paid less than $600 for that gun. Gunbroker prices are not representational and never have been. Note how the vast majority of those auctions close without a winning bid. [edit, I just checked Gunbroker. There were 30 PT1911 auctions that closed within the last 48 hours. Typical asking prices varied, but none were above $700. Most were between $500 and $600. Total auctions that closed with a winning bid: 0. That's right, not a one sold. Which means the market value for a used PT1911 is less then ~$550 right now. Gunbroker is a joke - until they introduce posting fees, people will continue to post at inflated prices - because it doesn't cost anything if it doesn't sell.]
That gun is now used, fired, finger fucked, and just basically has passed out the front door of the retail shop. It's not NIB. And he's asking for a ~20% markup above what it cost him to get it. I would pass. You could counter $475, which IMHO is what it's worth considering it's non-new state. But he won't take it and may even hold a grudge. Just pass. |

Hell no, used PT1911 = $550 max.
Wait a month and offer $500. |

Guy at my work has a Taurus 1911 stainless with hoag (sp?) grips. He says its a little too much gun for him and he's only put 19 rounds through it. I asked how much he wanted for it and he said he had to have $700 for it. Is this a good deal? Thanks all, FtB The guy at work probably relized he made a mistake. Cause a 45 acp is not to much to handle. Get a springfield. Don't get lured in by a good advertising campain that Taurus has presented the public. |
