In this game, price trumps all.
I've found out the hard way that with a fairly 'rare' pistol, it's tough to find a buyer. Unless someone is specifically looking for a 14-45 (I have a 16-40LTD), it may take a while to sell. ParaOrd 1911's usually have a fairly small niche to fill.
Also, unless the price is considerable below the cost of a new one, prepare to wait a while.
Try posting it on buysell.com as well... you get more volume that way!
