Well , looks pretty legit anyway  NIB Colt SP1 vintage 1968 with box  gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=44781891 |
No, it's LNIB |
So That would be like a Virgin who has been heavily Fondled?

Heck , i would go $1500 - 1600 If i could spare it  People are paying $1200 for New Colts to shoot.  They are buying plain jane M4 types for $1000 If It's really in the condition described , it has TRUE Collector Value. You obviously don't place much value on History |
I do place value on history but also on money......... |
I don't deserve such a rifle, as I'd immediately take it out and shoot it. 
|
Considering over 100,000 SP1s were made, I wouldnt exactly call them "collectors items." |
Yes sir, I think you've hit the ten ring on this one. The idem will appeal to a relatively small percentage of the buying public, namely collectors. The two sides of selling to a collector are one, they usually have deep pockets and two, they usually know the worth of the idem. I believe number two is going to be the hurdle the seller is going to have to clear on this deal. I think we'll see this idem up for aucton again.

What history? That rifle has none. It has not been anywhere, nor done anything. My H&R M1 has a hell of a lot more history than that Colt, and it cost me 1/4 of what the seller is asking for a run of the mill commercial rifle. |
