I have been looking for one and found one but I thought at $995.99 it was overpriced - Am I wrong?

I bought a very nice 1006 with two mags in the box from a forum member for $825 two years ago. I thought it was a very fair deal to both of us. I would think $995 ought to be in the box, two mags and like new and it is still on the high end. I think they are probably good property but if that's just for a decent gun alone, it seems high to me. Now if it a documented FBI gun, it's way too cheap at that price. As always, they aren't making any more of these and it depends on how badly you want it and how long you are willing to look. Someone often comes along with the story of the one they bought from the widow for $300. You give no description (condition, mags, box) so it's pretty hard for anyone to come up with a value estimate.

You give us no help at all here besides model and price. We have no idea at all about condition, magazines, accessories, original goodies...?
With modetate wear, no box and only one magazine... a thousand bucks would be on the rather high side.

1076 is a great gun, but with one mag and no other accessories, I think that $1K is about $300 too high.

If you have the SN (and photos if possible) handy, we may be able to tell you if it was an FBI issue gun, in which case $1K might be a very fair price.
While I'm new to the forum, I'd like to add another perspective from the standpoint of those wanting to jump in now-a-days.
True enough, availability and condition are the key bits. Followed by desire. It seems high on the surface, so assign a value and doesnt hurt to offer. Who knows.
But will say prices are on the up lately.
With Sig committing to 10mm and the Colt DE coming back into production, there is a resurgence that has brought that cartridge more mainstream over the Glock only days. References to Gen 3 10mm are getting made in some of the reviews, and that is putting them on the radar of folks that never knew the existed. Demand up...Supply of pristine nowhere.
There are 3 price points
1. Forum market price
2. Backwoods gunstore with no online presense
3. Everywhere else (GB and LGS that have internet connections)
Forums are notorious for best prices, but anything that is a 'good deal' is generally snapped up in minutes. You have the most competition for values buys here. Its all good folks say you should only pay XXX, but you could wait for years for the perfect storm. Luck vs Reality, though the perfect storm can happen.
Option 2...100% luck.
3, unfortunately more reality than folks like to admit. As disliked as GB may be, its a good way to judge the ceiling and average prices if you are not charmed enough to happen to see the classified post in the first 30 seconds.
IMO, taking average prices for the condition you are looking for, throwing out the oddball outlier high and lows, is more true market.
A very nice one, LNIB is $1000 to $1300 easily there. The demand is there to support it. Taking of a bit for box and missing mag ($70 - $80), plus any wear you find on closer inspection gives a good base for an offer if you want it.
