High Standard prices too high?

[Junebug56]

A local GS has 2 High Standards, from a private collection, for sale...Based on the fact that this store usually prices their new guns $150.00 more than any other retail shop I've ever patronized, (they are in a metro area where price seems not to be questioned) I'd like some opinions on what they are asking for these vintage High Standards. Gun # 1 is a NIB DuraMatic...Not sure of age, but a parts list in the box offers a new barrel for $11.95...They want $599.00 for this one. Gun # 2 is a 1970's unfired "The Victor" (no box) with vents on slide...Asking $999.00. Should I keep looking, or are these prices realistic?

Jeez, I'd pass. High Standards have been priced really high lately and I haven't seen too many of them moving.

$999.00, no box, no warranty, no magazines available....forget it!

If you're looking to spend that kind of money you could get a S & W Model 41 with two barrels, a lifetime warranty and factory support. Then pick up all the magazines you can afford.

Duramatics should run $250-$350 these days. A Victor should for $550-$750, for the most part. I'd say he's $200-$300 high on both of them.

I've actually seen a FN PS 90 in this place for $500.00 more than 2 other shops within 50 miles...Should have known these were not "deals"...Thanks!!!

Yes, those prices are waaay out of line.

Those prices are very high but, be warned, those guns are getting expensive lately. Not as high as that, though....

Not new in the box but I bought a nice Dura-matic earlier this year for $150. Those prices seem quite high imo.
