    Default Ruger 1911 - Have People gone crazy

    Buds auction with 6 hours left to go and a 'used' Ruger SR-1911 is up to $825. Someone please justify that for me other than someone with a lot of disposable income and no patience to wait until they come in and come back down near msrp !!!!

    Held one last week at Targetworld. Actually held two, the basic and the upgraded models. Neithers' slide was that smooth moving, hung up a bit to tell you the truth. Salesman said that was normal for new. Really? I wasn't impressed for the money.

    I hope to get an SR1911 in the coming year.....not sure I will pay $825 but I will probably pay a good premium. It is a sweet gun.

    It's called free enterprise. It's an auction, people will bid what they are willing to spend, really not that odd.

    Oh I totally understand supply and demand, and realize if you have the money you can spend a little more for what you like - but come on, at some point doesn't "I have some cash and can pay more" turn into " I am one dumb son of a bitch" - lol

    No. It means that (s)he places far different value on money than you do. Nothing more.

    I guess, it's what makes the world go round - personally, I like to get what I want, but don't like having someone take advantage of me because they can. But, if you are happy about your purchase, I guess go for it.

    For that amount of money, they could have bought a SIG 1911 XO, which is a much better pistol. I held a demo SR 1911, great pistol for $575-$650, not so great pistol for $850.
