Colt Bicentenial set Value

chumchum
Hi, I paid $3000 for it. Not sure if it was worth it, but I thought it was. All 3 gun are new unfired unturned with all the boxes and paper work. The book is still wrapped and it came with the original shipping carton. Th wooden case is perfect and never had the guns placed in it. Good deal, bad deal, right on the money?

Thanks

    Thanks Guys. That auction list,The funny thing is that this guy originally wanted $4000 for his set and I offered him $3000 and he told me I was crazy. I see he made several price reductions before selling it. That makes me feel pretty good about mine since I found it local, had no shipping involved. Plus I got the original shipping carton. May not be worth anything, but to any Colt collectors it would be a plus in considering buying mine over another one. If I ever want to sell it.

    FYI: 1,776 sets were made in 1976 with an issue price of $1,695. Don't ever fire them or even cock them if you want to maintain their "as new" condition and value.

    Agreed; that's fair for all.

    On a recent trip to KY., I stopped in Bud's Gun Shop, as I have done a lot of trasfers from them and I wanted to see the show.

    Nice, clean, neat, lots of counter help, then lo and behold; a Bicentennial Set BUT, this one was out and in the display case for everybody to handle, which they had!! A shame; still wanted $3000.00.
