Fair price ???

[dogchaser]

SS 4 5/8 Super Blackhawk in ANIB condition, what's it worth?

One caught my eye and I don't have a clue what's fair.

Thanks

I'd say $450.

Thanks.

I guess the one I'm looking at is a pretty good deal then.

I'm affraid if I get it I'll start working on it like most of you guys do and then it won't be a "good deal" any more.

I was already thinking free spin pawl and front and rear sights. ;D

You need to revise your definition of "good deal". I can't make myself invest the requisite thousands of dollars in a harley because I have a mental tally of what that means in mortgage payments and S'ghetti-Os, but I see the value in a 44 that I can load for, work on and shoot for the rest of my life. In ten years time, if well cared for, that 44 will still be worth $450, maybe more... and in a pinch you can dump it quick for 75-80% of your investment and free up some mad money.

It's tough doing both but there is value in a Harley if you get the right one. Mine's 30 years old and is as much a part of the family as any of my revolvers. In either case it's a labor of love. I'll never get all my money back on any of them but you can't beat the smiles per mile (or bang) factor.

That's what they go for in my neck of the woods too. And if you do what you were talking about, you can end up with something like this.
