$850 for Colt Diamondback?

[doctorhumbert]

My local gun show dealer has Unfired absolutely mint LNIB Colt Diamond back .38 special blue with 4" barrel. I know $850 is alot, but I 'might' can haggle $50-100 with cash. Should I buy this or should I look for a better deal?

Look for a better deal.

That's not the most common gun/chambering in the world, but I don't think it's an $850 combination!

Buy a copy of Gunlist and start your shopping from there.

I see them pretty regularly for $450 or so in nearly new condition. Pythons are going for about $850 in mint condition around here.

If it's "unfired," it's not "like new in box." Every time I see the word "unfired," I think "reblued."

Greeting's All-

I think I'd pass on this deal! Sounds like the seller
needs a "quick fix"? Let 'em make mo' money off
some other person; cuz I believe you can find a lot
better deal than that, if you really want a .38 SPL.
Colt Diamondback!

Well forget about that overpriced Diamondback, I already spent $600 of that money on NIB Sig P229 9mm. Thanks guys.
