is a gun worth more IF

[Rob454]

LOL, what did he do, drop it from a skyscraper? Even if it was "pot metal", to think it would somehow break from a fall of what, 4ft maybe 5ft? Is ridiculous. Sounds more like gunstore BS because they wanted you to buy something else.

Oh he had a very very nice kimber 45 that he was showing me. Ill buy you lunch if you can guess the gunshop

The Stockade?

[Z ME FLY]

Some guns that are off roster go for a bit more because people are willing to pay the price for it.

XDMs go for $900 here
Ruger LCP $500-600

The gun is worth more once it's posted in Calguns classifieds.

Yeah no kidding.....

If it's not on the "Roster" it means the gun is not safe in the hands of ordinary citizens. It is only safe in the hands of Law Enforcement Officers. It should probably be melted down...

actually it means the state hasn't gotten it's extremely large amount of money from the manufacturer yet, so that makes it not safe and should be melted down....

supply and demand; if the gun has high demand and the government makes it more difficult to obtain, with the result being reduced supply... the value goes up.

I wasnt planning on selling it. its the first handgun I ever bought when i turned 21. I knew it was old Im not planning on selling it simply because it is accurate, and its never given me a problem. yeah its heavy but i actually like heavier guns. I don't care for the plastic framed guns. I like metal frames.

i did have a guy at a gun store tell me that his dad dropped a Ruger and broke the frame on it cause it was pot metal. i just said yeah ok. I never had a problem with mine.

The P85 has an investment cast aluminum frame. Aluminum tough stuff, but will break if enough force is applied to it. It's certainly not pot metal.

yeah I know its not pot metal lol. Just the audacity of people and the way they trash talk guns simply to make a sale is astounding to me. I mean seriously the guy said it was dropped off a counter and it broke? Please. I understand people don't like Rugers but don't blow smoke up my butt to make a sale. i woudl of bought the Kimber but as soon as that BS started flowing out of the 'salesmans" ( he was maybe 19) mouth It completely turned me off from any purchases.

[Greg-Dawg]

This is not on the list either...and it's mine!

Really? I can't believe someone would say that! Most definitely some FUD going on there.

I've heard strange things @ FFLs before but never that one.

LOl yeah my buddy who was with me just started giggling and shaking his head.

How about a Cobray PM11?

Sometimes. A Python, unlisted HK's, older Smith revos, for sure. A P85, no.




Heck yes! Especially when its brand new, um, er, minus those 200 rounds "just to try it out."

This right here is the answer. ONLY if there is demand for the item, will it be worth something. People must be willing to pay the price in order for something to be valuable.
