price check for Delta Elite

[NEOCON]

I have a Colt Delta Elite 10mm that I pruchased new in 90 it has less than 200 rounds through it and is in perfect condition with all papers, tags, box extra mag just as new never been in a holster. I also have a guy that has been after me to sell it to him for some time and I believe I will shoot him a price as I never shoot it, do not like the 1911 platform and could use the money for other gun purchases. I am unsure of what to ask but have been thinking the $1200 range. Does anyone have any idea if this is a fair price, too high, too low? I just do not see them around very often and when I have they have usually been carried and shot a lot more than this 1 has.
It is not for sale as I have always promised first chance to this friend and hope that he does buy it as he has shot it nearly as much as me and was there when I bought it.


Any ideas as to value?

i have NO Idea...but it might be wise to check on what they've been selling for on GunBroker.com Online Gun Auction Might be short-changing yourself!

Thanks Spasmoeven though one is staed to have handeling marks and the other has no box or papers it does give me an idea.
This gun is actually in perfect condition as new. Only taken out of the box 2 times.
I wish I liked it but I just do not like the platform, I know I am weird. I sold all my 1911s about 7 years ago and this is the last 1 I have left. Kind of thought of it as a collector piece but I have no reason to keep a weapon that I do not shoot.

You may want to move that Colt pretty quickly. Colt reps on the show ciruit have been showing the reintroduced Colt Delta Elite 10mm. The word was that it was supposed to be out before the end of the year... Looks like it my go over that mark.

Blue or stainless? As far as price, they seem to all be around $900-$950, but I know a guy that specifically wants a blued gun.

 

[NEOCON]

Blue. The new DE has a bull barrel and some other differences I believe.

The new Delta Elite has been pulled due to "problems with testing."

I kept up on the Delta's prices for awhile now. I passed on several a year ago which were New In Box which for $900 - $1000.
I bought mine, which could pass for NIB, for $699 and I thought I made out like a bandit.

I talked with him today and told him I was going to sell it and he had first chance at it. I also told him to check around to see what he might think it was worth. I don't want to screw him but I do want a fair price for both of us. I will let you all know what he comes up with. I am thinking around $1000-$1100 may be fair for us both.

Neo, I have a few Delta's. A nice one with box and papers will run $900-$1100 and a Delta Gold Cup from $1400 on up. These are the prices here in the Evansville area where they are very popular. The last one thru Sohn & Assoc. firearms auction in Eville went for $1070 and it had a round count of around 600 rounds thru it.

Hope this helps.

Jim

btw- If he passes, let me know. I'm sure we could work something out. Cash, trade or both.

Thanks Jim, I had hoped you would give some input.

Hope all is well with you.

I have a local guy that was trying to sell one for $600. He still had the original box of 20 rounds that he didn't finish. I passed on it. Perhaps I shouldn't have. Wonder if he still has it.

 

[NEOCON]

We agreed on $1200 and he seems happy.
Now to pay for my new XDM I bought friday.
