Colt Double Eagle Mk II 10MM 1st Edition

I saw this auction on GB and wondered if this is a good potential investment. I know nothing about these and thought maybe someone would enlighten me. COLT DOUBLE EAGLE 10mm 1st EDITION NIB : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

Thoughts?

In my opinion, no. It is only my opinion, others may differ of course. But, I personally am (a) a Colt junkie, (b) a 10mm junkie, and (c) a Double Eagle junkie, and I would pass. For one thing, I am not at all sure that the gun is really NIB based on the photos. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that the Double Eagle 10mm First Edition came packaged from the factory in a little aluminum pelican style hard case, with three magazines some of which if not all had rubber base plate bumpers, similar to the one shown. The package also included a black nylon holster. These things were offered in either 1990 or 1991 and shown in the Colt catalog for that year. The blue plastic case shown seems like a later style from the mid to late 90s. Note that there is no photo of the factory label on the "original box" that shows the serial and model numbers, etc. Finally, notice that the seller has specified that this is an "as-is/ no inspection period / no refund" auction. I would have no interest in this thing at all, but that's just me.
