I've never put a firearm online, always sold at a local shop and paid the commission. I'm faced with the issue of needing to get some things locked up...... that means another safe. Unless gold coins fall outta my backside soon, something has to go to pay for it. Before I go public with a listing, could y'all offer a high/low range I should consider? 3rd Gen Colt SAA. I got it NIB with an El Paso Cheyenne Rig. I put 12 rounds of factory lead "cowboy loads" through it and put it away. Box and everything that came in it is on a shelf. P1840 4 3/4" 45 Colt. Serial puts it from 2012 production. I can replace this a lot faster than my custom revolvers and rifles, so it's the candidate for the sacrifice. I could certainly buy a big new safe if I sold ammo and primers, considering what the market is bringing, but replacing that stuff later is less likely than getting another SAA. Thanks D. image links to follow as soon as I figure why they don't work like last time. grrrrrr imgur.com/4leElGUimgur.com/pE50Mxlimgur.com/TQK10Kqimgur.com/E6irzKf |

2011-2012 were some of the better SAA production years. You should be able to get full retail or more for this most desirable barrel length and chambering.

I certainly would not sell that one for less than $1800.00. Hard to guess on the high side. Don’t recall seeing any 3rds going for more than $2200.00 but I’m sure some have. I get amazed every day. I forget what year Colt went back to the replaceable bushing, but they are more desirable. It’s not not only because of the bushing but it seems overall quality improved at that time.
Your Colt looks like a very nice one. I’ll add that it may not be real easy to replace.

I'd put it up for auction, start the bidding at $1800 and let it fly. If you're selling the rig too, do that separately.

Local gun shop down here has three unfired, new in box Colt SAA's for sale for 2500 a piece.
I wouldn't buy one cause the first thing I am going to do is shoot it.

Take some really good pictures either outdoors with the revolver laying on a piece of dead wood or a stump, or build an inexpensive light box out of cardboard and some cheap white cloth from Walmart. Either way, take LOTS of good pictures from lots of angles; the rear sight, the loading gate opened and closed, the muzzle, the serial number, etc. You want pictures like these:        If you're going to list it on an auction site, the best way I've found to get the most money, as crazy as it sounds, is to start your bidding at 99¢. What this does is gets lots and lots of people watching and when the bidding gets serious and the egos kick in ("By God...I will NOT be out bid!!"), you'll have people bidding it up. This method has never let me down. I recently sold some original GI 1911 parts on eBay, starting all of them at 99¢, and some of my used examples sold for more than new ones that were listed with higher starting prices. I've sold a few 3rd Generation Colts on Gunbroker over the last few years and did it the same way, a $1 starting bid, and have always gotten really good prices in the end. It's crazy what grown men will pay to preserve their egos! 35W |

What do you suppose the acquisition of Colt by CZ will do to demand and prices?
