Post by: Bofire on June 18, 2008, 09:11:34 PM: 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.
I have owned them all. never had a Les Baer!

Post by: thinkingman on June 19, 2008, 11:26:25 AM: 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

Post by: cohoho on June 19, 2008, 08:42:44 PM: $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....

Post by: bankwalker on June 19, 2008, 09:27:27 PM: that was just one on gun broker...that was the buy now price for it used. it was a stainless model too.

Post by: tlbradford on June 20, 2008, 08:12:47 AM: It sounds like you are talking LNIB condition "Like New in Box". I think you would get $900 for it fairly easily.
