Worth of Colt 1991A1

I have my eye on a couple of new pistol choices, but unfortunately one of my existing collection will have to go to afford a new one. I'm thinking of letting go of my Colt 1991A1. It has only 200 rounds of ball ammo through it and is mint. It is the standard carbon steel with the standard military finish. Nothing special, but all original including the magas and original box and manual. What do you think I can reasonably get for it?

Thanks!
 
In Texas the NIB price was $349 until Colt ran out of them. $550 does not sound at all out of line now, but sell it quick before Colt gets the order backlog filled and you start seeing $400 1991A1's again.
 
$350 - $400. Colt Gum'ts in 99% go for $500 - $600 all the time.

HS,

They may advertise that price, but they can't deliver as Colt hasn't shipped any since November, and thet haven't made any since then either and when they do, the wholesale price will be over $400.

And I doubt you may see any soon. I was at the SHOT Show last month and while they said they were still going to make them, no distributor I know has gotten a delivery date from them and worse yet I hear that their vendors cut them off because they haven't been paying the bills.

I just got one last month in Matte s/s about 98% for 345.00 at a local shop. I thought is was a great deal. I love it. Here in PA. I have seen others going for 400.00 to 450.00
 
Well I thought they were worth a call.. ;)
