if you can buy them and it is the same gun cohoho is talking about, you should buy 1.

Buy it!! I warn you, you will never be satisfied with any other 45 again, at least not for that kind of price. A Wilson ($1500.00)can turn my head but Colts, Springers,Taurus, Thompson, Brolin, etc. aint even close.

A few questions.
What is the age of the sights?  the luminous capsules will deteriorate over time.
Is it a series II?  if so, is it external or internal extractor?
Original box?
Manufacturer of magazines?
These are the questions I'd ask before giving it a price.
Short answer, $600

Stainless 1911's of any kind have taken a big jump in value the past year.  I would put the bottom number at $800.

$600, for real?????  Do you work at BEAR ARMS? It is one 1/2 year old, Kimber magizines (2), original box, lock etc...  I thinking of selling and looking for what a good retail price would be without being a butt head and believing it is worth gold.  Got one that is interested first before I post...  Don't use it at all, It stays locked up and such a shame for such a good looking gun to be hidden in a locker...  I never get personal with any guns, or other material objects...  If I don't use it why have it..  Originally thought I'd get into some type of action shooting and never really did.  Might think about trading for an AR type or trolling motor 8 hp... L/S....

It sounds like you are talking LNIB condition "Like New in Box".  I think you would get $900 for it fairly easily.
