[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Reality Check Please?

Posted: 9/10/2010 1:26:46 PM EDT

Ive had this gun for sale going on a month now and havent had a real serious bite.

What is a fair asking price?

*Mods,

This is not trying to get free advertisement, I am looking for honest opinions to see if my pricing is way out of line. If this violates the COC please lock/trash the thread.*

Defintely high. Have you seen prices on new 1991 S80 Colt Commanders? No box? No papers? One mag? Ask for $650 and it'll sell.

ETA: Sorry, but after closer inspection...$600, maybe. Condition seems a little rougher than I first thought and....an epic "idiot scratch" to go with it.

No box, only one mag, old style rollmarks–– $500 is more like it, maybe $600 on a good day.
Retail on the current production, new rollmark 1991s with polished finish is only $719––and they have better fit/finish, more attractive rollmarks, the new barrel with special feedramp and include box and 2 mags. Edited to add––idiot mark and scratches on your frame, like the other guys said, does not help.
Kinda sucks but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

600 maybe 650 as stated.

takedown marks dont help any on non usgi guns

A much more polite reference. In the future, I'll be using that if you don't mind.

You are high by 20%
Sorry

In Central Indiana, about $500-600. Being high 20% is about right.

No need to apologize folks, I asked because I really didnt know and am glad to have a solid answer.

Unfortunately the idiot scratch was already there when I picked it up.

Looks like Ill be adjusting my listing soon.

Thanks again folks I really appreciate it.

Yep, have one just like it except I have the box and manual. Gun was like new. Paid $525 for it a year ago. Good gun.

$500-550 at most. These guns never listed anywhere close to $750 when they were new.

This. I payed under $500 for mine brand new. (obviously a while ago)

I see ORM (old roll mark) 1991A1 guns sell at a reasonable pace when priced in the low $500's

Why dont you ask around and maybe trade it for something that would move a little quicker?

If you were FTF distance from me, I would be glad to pull a Franken AR out of the attic and swap ya.

You could sell it to some wide eyed kid in an hour for $500 or so.

I have a grandson and I know all about "4 wheeler fever"

I bought a scrathced up one last year that hadn't had 200 rounds thru it for $350, from a gun shop. They can be had all day.
