Would You Pay More for a Unique Serial Number?

Maybe not , but I'll tell you what is worth $80 to me... how about an opportunity to check the slide fit, barrel lockup, trigger, cosmetic scratches, and a store that will help you if there is a problem with the gun. Oh, the s/n would be a bonus to me.

Cheapest I've seen them online is $999 (I'll assume Stainless), my brother bought his in store for $1050 + tax

Some guys are saying 33333 is not "unique", that all numbers are unique. Maybe I should have used a different term, like different or cool, but you know what I mean. The bottom line is people are willing to pay a little more for a "cool" or meaniful number to them. The question is how much is it worth to them? To me, I like the all 3's on the side of the gun, I think it's cool and rare just to have all the same numbers. I think it's worth a little extra, at least on a $1100 gun. I'm an engineer, and then again maybe it's just the engineer side of me because I've dealt with so much math and numbers in my lifetime

Buds has them for $976 with free shipping, which is what I was going off of. Now there's a dealer on GB starting them at $855 or buy it now for $930. That's with shipping. Last one just sold for $890. So now we're talking like an extra $150 for the local one with cool S/N. These are all new guns too, so are under warranty if there's any issues, even with the ones bought online.

I found a SAW 1911 with a S/N that was my initials and my birthday. Bought it for normal cash. Gave it to my son when he graduated college so he wouldn't forget my birthday.
Didn't work.

A gun you want? A cool serial number? You can afford it? What the hell is $80?
f.t.

I agree 100% with Bobby. ^^^^^^^^^
80 bucks is not much when you are buying a Colt
Delta Elite. Grab it quick before someone else does.
And when you are tired of it PM me, as the number
three is my favorite number.

i always like to show off my 1917 in threads like this.

Mike,
That one's a little scary to me. Hope your gun safe doesn't
start making noises some evening.

Been a while since I looked, didn't know they were going for so cheap now.
I would have to agree $150 isn't small potatoes anymore

Well 2 weeks later and I finally worked out a deal to buy number 33333. I like it.
