Looking for current market value on a very nice condition (98-99 percent) 1981 colt diamondback 4” blue in 38 with original wood grips. To further clarify, I am looking to make a trade to get this gun and would just like to know what these are actually bringing now. Thank you.

If you know where I can get a Diamondback for a grand, I'll buy every last one you can get me. OP, Diamondbacks run from around $1,400 (used in good shape) to over $3000 (NIB) for that finish and barrel length. Take a look at gunsinternational.com and see what Diamondbacks in the same condition as the one you're looking at are going for.

Asking is not getting. The ONLY accurate measure is to follow the big auction house auctions through PROXIBID.COM and see what prices realized are, Add the VIG and high shipping (2x-3x normal) and you'll know.
There are 16 currently for sale. Put a "watch" on them and you'll see reality when then sell.

Wouldn't sell my .38 for a grand, or my .22lr for two grand.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I’ll be the backup bidder at $1000. I’ll take three at that price. One for each hand and one for a spare. Sounds pretty low to me.

I bought mine 5 years ago for $1,395, don't think I'd sell it for that today. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/NstlDvt.jpg)

What would the value be of a used one which has been reblued in a flat black finish?

Bought mine in 2016, VG condition, shot very little for $1,400, would not sell it for that today.

Jeez, and I have a couple, and if they're bringing these prices, what do Vipers bring as I have 2, unfired, one in blue, no box, and one in nickel with box and papers.

I see them going for $1400-1600 strike prices locally. Seen much higher in online sales.
