Used CMD

[Wfac106]

Greetings! Saw a used (in excellent condition) CMD in my LGS for $600. Just wondering if that is a good price or not. Thanks for any and all input.

Just wondering if that is a good price or not.

Ask yourself one question; WHY would there be a used one available?
They have not been on dealer shelves that long.

It depends how bad you want a CMD. The asking price is not too far from what you might pay for a new CMD. :?

I would say that $600 is on the "very" high end of the used value. But it would need to be perfect! And Golferboy's $425 would be a steal, not normal! I would offer $500 OTD and hopefully they will meet you at $550 OTD. As mentioned above, the Std. SR1911s and CMDs are selling new for $600 in some locations. Do a Google search and print a few examples and take the documentation with you to your LGS.

Note: The values I mentioned would be for a VERY nice / excellent condition CMD with case and ALL components/docs that came with the gun new! Anything less drops price accordingly!

Good luck!

The issue I`m seeing is used guns in the present marketplace don`t lose much value...

You paid for a used gun and someone took a beating on it. Let me know if you can repeat that price anytime soon.

I know I got a deal. That said it was advertised for 500 and got no takers, then dropped to 450 still no takers, I could not resist. No doubts about it being "hot" either as it's one of those registered guns here in CT so both of us have permits paperwork was done.

I bought a SR1911 that was used but,I have a FFL license and bought it for with tax $400.00 No trade from Cabela's. And came with 10 magazines. Was listed for $719.99 before I bought it.

 

[golferboy426]

I've never heard of Cabela's being that stupid. Bet when the auditors see that transaction, somebody gets fired. BTW why would an FFL have to pay tax????

I think your dealer is making about $6 on a $600 sticker pricing... Yes, 600 bucks is s good deal for a stocking dealer NIB CMD.

 

[rich642z]

Any firearm I buy,I pay cost and tax. So no one can complain about it for me not paying sales tax. They do have my tax numbers at Cabela's. When I buy on my own,I pay the tax. When I buy for one of our stores,I use my ffl and have it shipped to the stores. Obama made some new exec laws this year. one of them is what I am writing about.

 

[golferboy426]

care to expound on the exec. order??

 

[rich642z]

I got the copy that was faxed to me by my batfe agent. FFL liecenses are expensive especially for a class 3 for which I do have. I have to much to loose if I do not obey this type of law to be on the safe side. My attorneys are working to nullify this executive order by Obambam.

Mine was $669 new in Jan 2013. Lately down here in the SW I have seen new ones new for $629. Both the SR1911s and SR1911CMDs.

If it comes out of dealer inventory the dealer still needs to pay tax on the purchase price, but at least gets to avoid nics as he's already been vetted for the license.

 

[dakota1911]

That seems a bit high to me right now. I have seen them new in gunstores down here in the SW in the $649 area new in gunstores the last few months. That is retail and no police discount or anything. I paid $669 for mine in Jan of 2013, but it was one of the first ones in the area. Lovely pistol by the way.

I agree with dakota, $669 was a great price, when he bought his. I paid $686 for mine. Now at my LGS, the regular price for a brand new one is $649 minus 2 percent for cash. Ed
