[Dr.Rob]

Look here:

There was another one on gunbroker re-finised in the 60's by a Colt employee that looked NEW. Man I want one of those. Don't know why.

That is butt-ugly. It's a good thing your broke.

Broke is a way of life around here. I try to not let it interfere with acquisition of good guns tho.

Does look like he is a tad on the high side on his buy it now price.

One of my carry pieces is only bout 8 years younger than that one. It and I are a matched set.

Added. Just learned that one like that, refinished nicely, but with NO corrosion pits recently went for $400.

Patience pays sometimes, even when it is "broke" induced.

Unfortunately Sam is right. Hanging around these boards not only takes you away from chores but also keeps the savings depleted.

My savings account looks like a gun store.

My gun safe looks like a savings account ( don't tell the mrs.'s)

 

[jar]

well, it sold for $724.00. Amazing. Looks like I will be getting fewer and fewer nice revolvers.

What in the world is driving these prices?

 

[C.R.Sam]

Folks with more money than knowledge are driving the odd price spikes.
Been that way for a long time.

Sad thing is other folks without a knowledge of the real market try to sell stuff at prices like that. And, sometimes they get lucky.

Thus perpetuationg the cycle of rediculousity.
