Hello. I have this set of Colt black powder revolvers up for sale on local consignment and on Gunbroker.

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1101160543

Just curious as if you think that I am fair on the price. I have had them since new and they have never had the cylinders turned, so they are as new with all paperwork, boxes, keys, etc.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ever been shot? Any rust?

That seems plenty fair to me.

The demand on these fluctuates wildly but that starting range should be considered a bargain to anyone in the market for ‘em at this condition.

PS "New In Box" doesn't preclude rust. Rust can form on "New In Box" guns improperly stored.

Can you confirm the absence of rust? I've seen new in box firearms that had rust spots.

Best to see the pics. No they have no rust.

I like those... I don't think your price is out of line. If I hadn't been buying so many toys lately I'd be a player.. I play again this fast my wife might put my ass in the penalty box lol..

NICE ! Not bad on the price, either.

That's not the price. They just sold for over $1,500.00. I was sticking with it pretty high up, but it got too rich for my blood right near the end.

Truth is, whoever won got them for a bargain, when you consider their individual values if sold separately. I just wanted even more of a bargain than that, and someone else wanted them a little more than me, so I dropped out of the bidding.
