In any condition < what rufe-snow describes, it would likely sell in the $400-500 range. Wait & see, the seller may realize that he has to adjust his asking price down to the market price.

i am thinking about buying from someone. gun has never been fired and also has receipt from when first purchased. they are asking $800
"Never been fired" is one thing, cylinder turning is another. Is there a fine line on the cylinder where it has been turned? As Rufe pointed out, it has to be PERFECT to get top money....and his $800 price is about $300 above what PERFECT Colt .22 boxed comm's are bringing in this down market. I have a dozen or so of them (Alamo, WV, Dakota, Maine..etc) and follow them closely. If it has ANY mark on it (and I would go over it with a glass before buying) I would not offer more than $400 and use it as a shooter. Sadly, if it is PERFECT it has to become a "safe queen" to keep its value. That is the Comm game! Good luck[:)]
thanks again, and merry christmas everyone.[:)]
I agree with the above valuations and they've stayed in that range for the past 10 years or so. Obviously, not a strong investment.
Merry Christmas to you as well! [:)]
