Hello
I have been trying to buy a Colt Gold Cup 1911. I would prefer the 70 series. I have attended several auctions in the past couple of months that had the 70 series Gold Cups.
The one auction had 2 blue ones. They were tight and in really good shape. One went for 1275.00 and the other for 1250.00. I was a little thrown off to say the least.
Next auction had an 80 series , stainless version. It was an early 80 series. It went for 1300.00. It was really loose although it appeared not to have been fired very much.
All of the ones I have looked at were in the same price range.
And, forget about buying a older Colt government model, they are just crazy in price. They are in the 1400.00 to 3000.00 range.
I am trying to understand what is driving these prices up on these. There are plenty of the government models out there, not nearly as many Gold Cups.
Anyone else noticing prices in this range?
