Help with 1911 value
Got offered a 1911 in trade for my shifter kart. Not too sure on what to value this at. Now i know Dan Wesson's are nice pistols, but i have no experience with their custom shop guns. Can anyone give me a ball park figure on the value? Here is his description:
"This is a Dan Wesson Custom shop hand built and fit one of a kind with two complete upper slides one Cary one target with 12 tuned mags McCormick and Willson several holsters"
-
"Dan Wesson Custom Shop"? The CZ website says they farm out their custom work to private shops.
Also, I'd think a base model would help in determining value.
-
Kind of a vague description. Can we get pictures?

An external extractor. I'm not sure but I think they haven't used that feature in a little while. Probably an older model. Not sure if that adds or detracts from the value though.

The question is. How long you been sitting on that cart / for sale? What you valuing the cart at? IMO the 45's easier to "cart" around.
-
Thanks Ray. And good point Jim. I've had the cart for sale for about two months now, but i'm not exactly in a hurry to sell it. I think its worth around $2500. I like the .45, but will only do the deal if its comparable in value
-
I'd say cash value is around half your asking price on the cart.

Thanks Wulf.
I should be getting more info and pictures tonight or tomorrow, so i will update the thread then. Thanks everyone for the help so far!

The whole extra slide thing makes it difficult to put a value on. Without that I'd say maybe $1200 on the high end. Maybe. Pretty sure brand new ones are about $1500 ish.
