Help pricing a 1911

[ShootALot523]

Looking to sell a Springfield loaded 1911 (9mm ) stainless steel
Has custom trigger
Ed brown Maxi Well
5 magazines
I have no idea what to ask for this.
Please PM me if you know what this gun is worth.
I got it on a trade and only shot it once. Its a great gun, just never gets used.

I would look for price of a used Springfield loaded 1911 (9mm ) stainless steel

What's a custom trigger ? The mag well has no value to me or most people I would guess

5 mags have a value I'd check new price and sell for 60%

of new.

So with that have going price of a Springfield loaded 1911 (9mm ) stainless steel and 60% value of 5 extra mags added.

^^ as above, look for used comparables for a the same pistol (SA Loaded in 9mm). The trigger and magwell as kind of a wash - no real added value IMHO, may even detract from value. Can't really tell condition from the picture. $650-$750 (the higher price with the mags bundled in?). Maybe a few bucks higher with box.

Used mags are what you can get for them (brand?). 50% of MSRP?

The gun is worth about $500. Mods might be a plus for someone but usually it isn't. The mags about $15 each. New 1911's are flooding the market and it's hard to sell a used one. I have a NIB Colt I would like to sell but with the new prices now I'm not even going to consider it. Needless to say it's a buyers market.

$600 to $700 to the right person.

if it's in your way just send it to me, I will put it in the safe for you

I would say around $600. You can ask what you like.
On our local board people usually ask higher than new prices go figure. Good luck!

I would say somewhere between $500 to $600. Start at the high end and go from there.

Consider that SA is not making that model right now. If you want a new 9mm SA, it will have to be the plain finish Range Officer.
I bet there is somebody out there just yearning for a stainless gun.

 

[wojownik]

^^^ agreed. Which is why I was suggesting it could go up to 750..

I bet there is somebody out there just yearning for a stainless gun.

To be more precise, a SA SS 9MM. If I was in the gun buying mode, which I am not and won't be for some time, I'd buy it in a heartbeat for $600 and could be talked into $700 without much trouble.

About 6 mos. ago, I traded one of these Springfield Loaded 9mm 1911s plus a Sig P220 w/NS, for a NIB STI Trojan 9mm, so I know the Springer was worth about $600 in the deal at that time.

Thanks for all the replies. The High road is an awesome forum.

I'd start by taking a better photo of it, then post it on your local Armslist and other local gun-clssfied sites (like theoutdoorstrader) at $650,firm, and see what happens. If it doesn't move in, say, two weeks, then drop it $25, or post it as "$650 OBO". I wouldn't start with the "OBO" beause that's advertising right out of the gate that you'll take less, and your first offer will be $600 or $625.

edit: Just for reference, here's an ad I just found on my local outdoorstrader, for a SA Loaded 1911 (this one's in .45). He's askng $650 firm, and going by all the comments, the consensus seems to be that this is a great price.
