https://battlehawkarmory.com/product/colt-government-series-70-1911-.45acp-5-barrel-1-7-round-magazine-blued-pistol $825 new.
Want to know what something is worth? Keep lowering the price until someone buys it. |

If you are putting a lot of effort into arguing with me, you are probably really just wasting your time, sorry.
|
If it won't sell, either the price is too high, or where it is advertised does not reach the target market.
|
|
I pray that this post is not a waste of site resources.

Scheels has these sometimes for $850.
When I was looking for one to send to nighthawk, I wouldn't have bought used for more than $800. It's a lot of dudes jerking each other off, but check out the 1911 addicts forum - they have a robust classifieds section. Something like a 1911C sells often enough. |

One of those sold locally, guy had it listed for $650. I don't know how much he got for it but I know somebody got to it before me.

That's a hella good price.
I just turned 800 down. .it's getting to the point. I don't like meeting face to face. Guy I met last Saturday. Wanted me to bring rounds so he could cycle the rifle |

My LGS has a brand new 1911C for sale for $875 I think...so yeah, $950 is too much. $800 new in box unfired, maybe, and that's probably pushing it with all the tire kickers out there these days.

Quite a few out there for sub $900 brand new. So yes, about $150 too high (at least).

I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

View Quote That's what I paid for mine. Used, in the sense that someone owned it before me. I don't think they shot it at all. OP: $800 is top of the mark for that pistol IMO. If you want to actually sell it, list at $750. |

I hate to be "that guy" and maybe English isn't your first language but if you're typing like that, I would say most people would think "fraud." Most of the fraud type posts will have poor grammar, and/or "too good to be true" pricing.
So my advice is if you have a English speaking friend, have him/her type out the ad and perhaps even answer ads for you so that you can complete the transaction. |

There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?
|
I bought one for a little less that $900 with tax and shipping and transfer, my reason is they aren't going to cheap forever, it' not like it's one of those plastic guns.
