As much as I love my Colt, I can't stand looking at it day after day, sitting in my safe, never to be fired. It's a beautiful piece of equipment. You just don't see this kind of deep blueing in todays firearms. Its a 1983-ish Colt Series 80 Gold Cup National Match, that has never been fired.

I can't stand to not fire it, and also can't stand looking at it and wishing. So I think I might just make the leap and sell it this weekend at the show. What is a fair price for this weapon? I definitely don't want to leave a blank spot in my safe, so I'l probably look to trade it with someone there for something nice. Maybe that AR-15 I want / need to get. I'm also open to the concept of trading it for a Benelli SBE II. But in either of those circumstances, I think my Colt is probably worth more.

Any thoughts?

Try looking on Gunsamerica.com, Auctionarms.com and Gunbroker.com

I doubt you'll find one that's unfired but you can get some idea of what other people are paying.

It sounds like a very nice pistol and a blind guess off the top of my head would be somewhere in the $850-$1000 range if you find the person that just can't live without it.

I wish it was mine.

Well it can be yours for the right trade!!!! Have anything of interest? Maybe an MP5?

My copy of the Blue Book of Gun Values is at least 5 years old, so it won't help. I plan to get a new copy at the gun show, and I'd suggest you do likewise before setting a price.
