Check on gunbroker.com. That will give you an idea what people are asking and what people are paying.

Yea, I hear you.
In my neck of the woods, a good condition one goes for around $900.00. |

MM, not grumpy at all, asked a simple question. No need to interject if you don't have a responsible answer. Don't want to do anything through a brokerage site, I have plenty of people that will buy it if I can put a realistic price on it while not selling myself short. I can also sell it in my state without the hassle of the paperwork associated and tied to me that happens through those sites and other states. |

Last year, I spent $1059 for a new stainless Series 80 XSE, and regular stainless Series 80 1991s were priced at $1029 (about a $100 jump from one year earlier).
Colts don't depreciate much, so I would expect at least $850-900 for one in very good condition. |

"It depends" is not a smart-Aleck response. "Series 80" describes all Colt models that have the Series 80 firing pin safety mechanism. That covers the full range from the entry-level M1991A1 and 1991 pistols all the way up to Colt's most expensive, custom shop models.
What model did you have in mind? |

I would agree with $800. You may see dealers selling them (actually selling them, not just warehousing them for a rare sucker) for $900, but that means if you want to sell it w/o box & papers, I think it will fetch $800.

I have one. Got it in October 1984. I have put thousands of rounds through it. It's had feed ramp and ejection port work, and Millet sights added. Trigger is stock. It's my favorite gun to shoot to this day.
It's not for sale.

There are a number of the series 80 Colts in the blue book. I think of fair to good condition is about an 80% pistol. I am going to guess somewhere in the $550 to $650 range. I could very well be off a hundred bucks or so based upon which Series 80 and more precise condition description. A 100% pistol in only in the eight to nine hundred dollar range.
I assume it is not a Gold Cup. If you can provide additonal data, I will attempt to be of more help looking it up in the blue book. |
