Legal Defender Price Question

theoldesarge
A lot of years ago I ordered a new Legal Defender kit. For those of you that do not know, they sold for $30 something, and were for converting 1851 Colt Navy replicas to .38S&W caliber. Well, I've still got it, new in the box, never used, and never will now, not by me - too many other projects with more interest. So I figure I might as well sell it. What would be a reasonable price to ask for one of these?

Thanks

    No one? I saw a number of these sold several years ago, for about $130 and up; but haven't seen any advertised since.

    It's kind of a narrow niche market. About all you can do is list it on GB with a $.01 starting price and see what the market will bear. Whatever it brings, it is more than what it is earning in the drawer. [:D] Might as well put it out there see what you can get.

    Good luck. The 1800's conversions were a good example of human ingenuity. There were a lot of percussion revolvers available after the Civil War and it was cheaper for a common man to afford a conversion than a nice new 1873 Colt. These more modern ones are a fun way to shoot your guns with a variety of ammo.

    The newer manufactured "Kart Konverter" for 45 Colt goes for about $250.00. Figure yours is used, older and for a not so popular cartridge - just SWAG but ask for $165.00, settle for a few less? Got to figure that for about $150.00 someone will enjoy not having to do the crisco & scrub routine.
