Help please with a SAA auction on Gunbroker

[davevall]

Has anyone delt with this seller or is anyone familliar with this plan of ordering a new SAA from the Colt Custom Shop through this seller. Does he have an advantage over a single individual ordering one from Colt?

Colt SAA Nickel 38 357 45 44-40 32-20 38-40 $1449 : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

Thanks,

Dave

Silt Colorado is between Glenwood Springs and Rifle, Colorado, next door to New Castle. A Bedroom community to feed workers into the Roaring Fork Valley.
That's another story though... He has a A+ rating, but you can order the gun directly from Colt and have it shipped to the nearest FFL willing to accept the transfer. Just a Thought..

Thanks for the reply. Thats' kind of what I thought. I tried to get a hold of colt today to ask them how to go about ordering and what kind of deposit they require but after several attempts waiting on the phone I gave up. Is there a secret to getting someone on the phone at Colt or a better way to order from them?

When you call ask for Brent Turchi...Request any special orders that you might want, give him your email and you will receive a formal price quote with instructions.

Your Welcome

When You get a quote Davevall, if I may be so brash, would you share prices on a quote straight from Colt? I've been buying from a local dealer advertising NIB and coming in at the same price you saw on GBroker. Like most on the forum, I've got enough hog legs to hold me over during a long wait for another... if the price is better.

[Kid Sopris]

It's Not better, It's MSRP BUT you get to order it direct the way you want it. Otherwise you get what is on hand someplace else or the net.

[davevall]

Yeah, Actually the one from the seller on Gunbroker would be cheaper than the 2012 Colt price list I just looked at. He says he can order it custom also. He gave me a price of $ 1484.00 including shipping. Does anyone really know when these guns will be in production again?

[what would you say]

I gotta check the '12 list. The local picks are down to what I already have or don't want as much as something else for the money. So the online guy can sell it cheaper. I guess he's cutting his profits to sell cheaper than factory direct??
