What would you pay?

[Hanger]

What do y’all think would be a good price?

 

[J dirt]

That a Uberti or Pietta?

 

[Hanger]

Sorry pietta 58 steel sheriff.44 5.5” barrel

 

[Columbus]

If unfired, $300 tops including shipping.

 

[Hanger]

Looks unfired besides wear marks from cocking.

I would agree with @Columbus, pretty much. I think it is probably worth $300 unfired, but if I really, really wanted it right now and could not find anything like it anywhere else, I might go up to $340 or so, shipping included.

If I were trying to sell it, I don't think I would go below $300 with shipping included.

The various Blue Books have their recommended values, but the real world can dictate something different.

I try to avoid impulse buys. I've delayed too long and missed a few deals, but I have other guns to shoot.

Good luck, whether you are buying or selling! Whatever it's worth to you is the bottom line.

This was for sure a impulse buy. I do believe I have a sickness when it comes down to revolvers. After some back and forth they settled on 193 out the door. I can live with that, although I’m not sure if the wife can.

 

[SDSmlf]

Depends if you are buying or selling……

I think that's great!! The Pietta platform is excellent for a cartridge conversion!! Perfect barrel length and with 45C . . . Holy Cow!!
Here's mine!!

Fair price, at least around here.

 

[recurvebill]

One of the mail-order houses had them for about $330 , with no accessories ! Think $ 300 would be some more than
fair .

 

[Festus]

Why ruin it with cartridges? They are nothing more than a passing fad.

 

[Kansas Jake]

For the price of a conversion cylinder you can get a few extra cap and ball cylinders for easy reloads.

I agree but smokeless piwder has lasted longer than I thought it would…

I am going to wait til they work out the kinks with these newfangled cartridges.

For years, the "normal" for selling BP guns was they sold under the price of new, because obviously why would someone pay the same or more for a used gun when they could buy a new one.

But we are now in an era of shortages. Many popular and once readily-available reproductions are simply no where to be found.

You may well be able to demand a premium for even used reproduction guns.

I agree with Columbus

I love change as long as it comes in tiny little bits.,
