used Ruger SR1911 price

[Castle1]

I don't usually sell any firearms so I have a question for you all.

How much would I get for my Ruger SR1911 (full size brown grips) that I have only ever brought to the range once. New condition.

They sell new for about 1200 or 1300.

Typically, guys are okay with paying 75%-80% of the cost of a new gun, for one that is in "as new" condition - plus, they don't have to pay tax. You could get more, but you will have to wait for someone who really wants it.

They sit on EE at 750$

They will sell in the price range of 600$ to 650$

It's amazing the gap between retail and resale on these. I bought one once for $800 and sold it after several hundred rounds for $700. Sadly OP I think you are gonna take a bath on this pistol if you're about to put it on EE.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it.

I won't take a bath on it at all as I bought it a number of years ago when it was much less retail wise. If I had bought recently though and wanted to sell I totally agree with you.

I paid 900 I believe on EE a few years back when no one had them in stock.

I absolutely love the pistol and would pay that again to replace it if stolen.

I sold one locally for $600 a week or two ago. An absolute steal imo.
I tried getting 900... 800... 700... for mine on the ee. I didn't think I could, I expected some offers, but I never even got any low balls.
It's american built, solid, and reliable - that no one wants. But a norinco with a defect short chamber I couldn't hang on to for even a day on the ee.

I bought mine with a bunch of upgrades of EE for $650.

There was a time I remember when they where $900 brand new but with the cdn to us dollar and inflation. Prices have gone up for new but used. It is the same.

I bought cz858 for $650. Beretta 92 inox for $650.

Some used guns like Ruger sr1911 prices stay low and others like inox and cx858 that have gone up

Just bought a slightly used Commander style, 45, stainless for $725.
