a guy wants to sell his springfield 1911 GI model for $475. i dont really know what those guns go for slightly used. it only has a box of ammo through it. is that a good deal. im a noob w/ 1911s so feedback would be great. thanks.
 
New ones can be had around here for $530. Out the door with tax and background about $570.
 
That's a fair price. Springfield makes a good 1911, with an excellent warranty. I would buy it at that price.
 
update

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!
 
Don't sweat the park scratches and the worn grips, you did buy it to shoot and carry right?

Oh....photos please!
 
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.
 
second update

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!!!
