Trigger Mike Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 What is the current value of an unturned Colt SAA 45LC 5.5 inch barrel blue/case colored these days? Is there a difference in the value for the black powder frame?
Grizzly Dave Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 get a hold of sixgun shorty, he's the colt expert.
Trigger Mike Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 thanks. I did. After I posted my message above thinking of selling my Colts, I went looking for Sixgun and saw he just posted that he is looking for what I have. He is a good pard and I have bought from him before.
Bull Skinner Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 So, inquiring minds want to know. What is the value?
Trigger Mike Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 I still do not know. since I am selling, the frosting side of me hopes they are worth 30k each :lol: but the wheat side of me knows it will be much less
Trailrider #896 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 What good is a NIB gun that's never been checked for mechanical functioning? Suppose the bolt spring is weak or the bolt cuts in the cylinder are too narrow for the bolt and the cylinder will skip past lockup,i.e., the timing is way off. Of course, if, back when Colt's quit making the Second Gen guns, I had thought about it (and had the money), I'd have bought a dozen or so NIB guns at $225 each, and left them in the safe that way... Well, you know...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 So, inquiring minds want to know. What is the value? Not much, don't know if it works and it is out of warrantee.

Well, you know... I wish back when I was in the army and colt pythons were 500 and my army buddy bought one, that I had bought several. Alas, I was broke. If I had the money then that I have now, I could be rich now, only now the money I have still is too little to buy several pythons so I will not be rich later either.
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I would have bought a bunch of M-16 and M-60 receivers and had them all registered before 1986. If I only had a brain.

If I had the money then that I have now, I could be rich now, only now the money I have still is too little to buy several pythons so I will not be rich later either. I know that feeling. Really don't like to think back on how many times I have let something get away because of limited funds that would be worth mucho now. Alas , hindsight is so much more clear than foresight , but much less useful. Rex
Trigger Mike Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 I've decided the value of a unturned Colt SAA is $1,500 shipped.
Trigger Mike Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 I based my decision on information from a Colt dealer. I still went a little lower than I could. It is also based on gunbroker sells as well, but mostly a Colt dealer.
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Okay, we've established down payment...
