I got the Ruger SR1911 a couple weeks ago. If your waiting for one I can tell you it is probably one of the best values in a quality 1911 in the market. Mine is very accurate and the fit and finish was above my expectations. I paid $750 plus HST for it and I dont think I would let it go for that at this time. I remember seeing a Ruger Redhawk with the 4.2" bbl on here last year for $1200. Obviously that was way above retail but if you want one and they are backordered till god knows when then you might have to pay the premium price. Supply and demand sets the price.

So it goes....
It must just be that I'm just not that into stainless 1911's..... Just had another crack at a another 'like new in box' Ruger SR1911 pistol for ~ suggested retail & passed on it.
I know..... I'm waiting for Ruger to announce it's clone in traditional blued finish.

Hear, hear! I might laugh at ridiculous asking prices, but it is the owner's prerogative to ask for whatever price he wants.
Consider the flip side of this. What if you really wanted something and were willing to pay extra for it, and there was someone else who had it, but wasn't willing to part with it at the price that the CGN commissars were allowing him to sell it for? What good does it do you if there is a maximum price, but nothing is available for that price?
Personally, I don't see the point in spending that kind of money on a Ruger when you can get a Colt for a little extra. The main appeal of the Ruger 1911s is that they appear to be a good gun for their price range. At $1100, this no longer applies. My prediction is that that listing will be around for a long time. If not, obviously there was at least one person willing to pay that kind of money for a Ruger 1911.
The same people who complain about high prices in the EE are the same people who complain about lowballers when they sell their stuff.
The seller isn't being deceptive. He has a product in limited supply that he is offering to the highest bidder.
Want it badly enough and can afford it? Buy it. Want it but can not afford it? You won't buy it. Pretty simple.

It's like the SR9. Supply and demand, no supply, demand is high. High quality and you arent paying Sig prices. Someone listed there SR9 for $6++ on EE, good on them!
