Need some help on the price check of this Argentine Colt 1911 (http://www.armslist.com/posts/414047/denver-colorado-handguns-for-sale--colt-1911)

I can not find an exact price on any for sale anywhere to compare,
I can not see the pistol being $1200. Honestly I feel it is around a $700-$900.

Anyone help with proving me worng etc?

Smart a** ;) doesnt help though.

The reply I got after emailing the seller, was all about it being a Colt so it must be made of gold etc.
Thats when I started to seriously question the price of it.

My buddy just gave me a great deal on one. $350 for the gun and 3 mags.

I obviously don't the true value but it seems to be rather inflated.

He is way over priced. The other guy was right though, Armslist shit is always over priced.

Haven't seen a $500 AR lower on Armslist yet:) all depends on the SN and what model of that 1911,the grips are not org. Maybe the 1,000rds is Hornady Critical Defense:)

Argentine 1911's I would put at $400-$550 depending on condition. I would not go any higher than that personally. They tend to have had rough lives.

I sold one for $800, it was all matching great shape. Made on Colt machinery.But there are alot of rough ones.

Scout sound like you had one of the rare ones. I have just seen mostly rough ones through the years.

Yeah exactly. That and it seems no one there knew how to maintain a weapon. Stressed frames the works.

That gun has had a lot of work done to it. There is no way it's worth $1200. Especially without knowing who installed the parts that have been swapped out.

$500 gun....tops.

Some of the Argentine guns can be pricey depending on the markings and originality. That one ain't anything special.

For $1200 you'd be better off buying a real Colt.
