Gun Value

[jwardrip]

Trying to find the value of a Kimber Custom Eclipse II in used condtion. Gentleman I am speaking too is Asking $800 for it. He said he paid $1399 for it used at Gander Mt, two years ago. $1399 used sounds high to me, but I could be wrong. From pics ive seen, gun looks to be in really good condtion. Anyone know the value of this gun. Comes with orginal case and two clips.
Thanks

From Blue Book

Kimber has produced limited runs of pistols for dealer groups, NRA Events, sporting goods stores law enforcement agencies, special requests, etc. Limited run pistols can be as small as 25 mfg.

Custom Eclipse II stainless slide and frame, 4 in. barrel. black oxide finish brush poliched on the flats, 30 LPI front strap checkering, fixed 3-dot night sights, laminated greay grips, ambidextrous safety, ser. no. begins with KRE, 35 oz. 2,207 mfg 2001

Blue Book does not give grading for these guns, only the last MSR (Manufacturers Suggested Retail), which was $1,121 for this gun. The buyer may have over paid for it at Gander Mountain which would not surprise me. Since it is limited and they don't grade it, it is up to you to decide whether it will stay the same value or not.

My opinion is that $800 does not sound bad unless it has had the bejesus shot out of it.

Agreed, I would say as long as it hasn't been heavily used/abused, it will be good to go. I'll post your pics up for you, just give me a few

Two sold on GB in the last two weeks.. One @ 730 that looked a little rough and the other that looked new @ 950 for what it's worth.

Prefer an in-person inspection of a firearm before making a final decision but from the pics, I'd pay 800 for that.

That's a good buy for $800, pending closer inspection.

If for some reason you don't, forward me the seller's info , so I can! LOL I think that is a very fair deal, FWIW.

Kimber

NIB 1175, EXC. 900, V.G.775, GOOD 550, FAIR 350, POOR 150

I agree that $800 sounds like a good buy.

$800 sounds good to me I got a new one for $1150 off gunbroker

 

[jwardrip]

The more I look, the better it sounds. Only problem is that I got my heart sat on a Super Cary pro and cant afford both.

Nice choice. I have a CDP II pro and like the weight but I have to admit I like the Super Carry Pro round heel frame.

Kimber's are a little pricey, but they are worth it in my opinion.

I love mine.

I hope you get what you want.
