Springfield makes great 1911s. It's a pretty good price. Go for it.
Same advice, I would buy one at that price.

update ya'll.
thanks for the feedback. i went ahead a bought the gun. i gave him $475 cash. it looked like it was a lot more used than he let on, but still nice. the park finish hand some scratches in it and the wood grips has a little wear. still....it came with 2 mags and i dont think i would have found a better deal off GB when you add shipping and transfer fee. now i just cant wait to shoot this thing!

I have a Springfield Champion .45 and I have one word for it-dependable.
It's a rugged solid weapon which I know will operate in any condition as long as I take care of it.

ok, upon request, here are some photos i took with my phone. sorry, i didnt have my camera w/ me at the time. the purchase was for the gun, two mags, a box of ammo and a holster. i did not get the original box.
i tried to take a detailed photo of the scratches. they dont really bother me. im just so happy to finally own this model firearm in honor of it's 100th anniversary. god i love this gun. i should have owned this gun a long time ago.... back when i got my first M14. it's just classic. just classic! it just feels so right in my hand. no other handgun has felt this way.
i have been bitten by the 1911 bug, bad!!!
all in all.....i dropped $475 for a gun i have not even fired yet......and im in love. im taking it to the range today!
more soon.
thanks again ya'll....
