It's probably on the high side but has a lot of things going for it.

Not out of the realm of possibility that he'll get that for it.

 

[s4s4u]

No

 

[Hondo44]

He's already got that amount!

I've never seen an auction with 115 bids.

 

[street]

The only way to get one better is to go back to 1967. Yes it's a lot of money but if you are a collector and have a lot of money, where are you going to find one better. If you can find a Silver Dollar that would grade as nice as this one you would be in 6 figures. Just saying!!!!!

 

[hittman]

Heck I never even looked to see that there were bids already. Just "assumed" $1000.00 was his opening amount.

And fella's, it is 2019, not 1989 as far as prices go.

 

[hittman]

Somebody I know recently bought a near mint OM 45 convertible with both cylinders. When I (oops.... HE :lol found a super nice box and owners manual to match it, that $100.00 for a cardboard box didn't seem like much at all!

 

[Busterswoodshop]

It's a penny auction with two days left.
Obviously there is quite a bit of interest.
With two days left the price could go up quite a bit.

 

[gramps]

I personally wouldn’t pay over $500, cause to me, a non collector, it isn’t that special.

Gunshow here in Az last month had one just like it for $600. Don't think he sold it as I was there late in the last day. Is that the box they had in 67?

 

[contender]

That is a very nice, correct package for that gun. It is missing the brown cardboard shipper,, but otherwise a nice one.
Collectors like such fine examples,, but a shooter would not even consider paying that much. There are plenty of shooters out there,,,, but not many ANIB guns that old.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

I'd like to see the "Bid History" on that one, but not enough to "sign in".

 

[Moey]

The one I spotted at that gunshow I would have shot it like crazy.

 

[Mike Armstrong]

I'm not a collector and almost never buy new guns. My experience is that they get both better and cheaper with age, unless you're a collector.

(Of course you MIGHT say the same thing about Ruger shooters....especially the CHEAPER part!).

 

[Kevin]

These prices make any Ruger out there worth more. Perhaps the soft used gun market is getting stronger again.

 

[Cholo]

Bump :mrgreen: Currently $1,675.

 

[hittman]

Ended.



$1,825.00

 

[arfmel]

Dang!

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Congratulations to both the seller & the buyer!!
Very nice package also as said above.

At the last local show so guy was selling three. Each at $650.00 I should have bought them.

 

[Rclark]

$650 would be more like it . The answer for me would be NO. But hey, as long as seller and buyer are happy . I notice the grip panels fit a lot better than what they put on today....

 

[Ale-8(1)]

. . . as long as seller and buyer are happy.

Definition of a successful transaction!

Three, unfired in the factory box with all original paperwork?

 

[bogus bill]

I feel like rip van winkle. I am old and actively built up most my collection in the 60`s, 70`s and 80`s. I haven't bought but maybe three guns in the last 20 years. The most I ever spent for any gun was about $250`s and that was for a colt new frontier. Maybe $300 for a rifle or two. I own a couple of Pythons that probably have went up 6X or more in price. I bought a unfired 1959 ruger single six for $200 in 1990. Now retired for the last 19 years I cant believe the prices people will pay. I guess it`s all relative due to inflation. I recall working a rough job and was happy to get a buck a hour. Trouble is us old guys remember it and cant adjust.

 

[bigbill]

I thought I might of paid too much for a ruger single six in stainless with both cylinders with a 6 1/2” barrel I paid $400. But it's in excellent condition.

I paid $1,000 each for two RedHawks 5.5” bbl in 357/41 mags. That’s my limit.

 

[GasGuzzler]

I would not but I understand why someone else would.

I saw a (claimed) BNIB .357/9mm Old Model convertible in the box at the Allen gun show last weekend for $895. It was a little newer as it had a hyphenated serial number.

 

[smith1961]

"What ever the market will bear" is an old saying..................

I myself being a .41 mag freak would love to find an old model package like that in .41 maggie.
It would still only be a $1200-1300 gun to me

This proves the old adage, "theirs a sucker born every minute", BOTOH, something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I know I wouldn't have gave any where near this price for it even if I dreamed passionately about it every night.

 

[wdodd]

I have to say ...... the pictures/camera-work was excellent.
