value on a low s/n gun

[roberth]

My go-to for gun values is Gunbroker. I look at COMPLETED auctions within the last year where the item actually sold. That gives me a "high" and "low" range of prices.

When it came time to sell some guns last year that's what I used and the amount I got was pretty much what I saw on GB. If I'm aiming for a quick sale (which I usually am) I put my asking price at a little above the "low average."

Do this.

Refinishing ruins collector value. It is only original once.

Its only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.

Fusion isn’t a huge name in custom or even semi custom 1911’s and I don’t think a low serial # will make a bit of a difference in its resale value. Do what you want with it, but I’d keep it if I were you. Just being honest.

Some companies will refinish their own products. Never hurts to ask.

Shoot the crap out of it, enjoy it, keep it in the best possible condition while researching the value.

Have fun with it!

Now see, this is where I was coming from when I asked in a different thread recently, why is everyone selling stuff off. Not a derail attempt here, just a related observation within context.

Cause I?m buying other stuff��

That's the only reason I sell anything, in fact, I can't remember the last time I bought a new gun without selling something to offset the cost of said gun.

Get bored with one and want to try something new. That is why i sell.
