Thinking about selling my CMP 1911 Hard Case
My CMP 1911 came with a "CMP" tan waterproof hard case. Kinda like a Pelican but not. I see the CMP Rifle cases fetching as much as $100 one ebay and there are no 1911 cases for sale.
What future value to a collector might a CMP hard case have in conjunction with the CMP pistol? Thinking about putting it up for $150 because I think someone is crazy enough to pay that. |

Traditionally guns are always worth more with their original paperwork and boxes/packaging. I think you are being foolish and greedy over what amounts to a few dollars. Within a week or two after you sell the case, the money will have evaporated and then you won't have either the case or the dough.
You did ask for feedback. |

I'd keep it with the gun if it were me and, without a CMP pistol, I'd have zero interest in paying $50 or more for a case.

$150 bucks ! ! Oh how greedy we can become, but that comes from a person who tends to give everything away....

Don't sell the case, keep it with your 1911. Coming from someone who also has a CMP 1911 and case.
