Help me Value this Kimber
The gun is a Kimber Eclipse Ultra. The condition is visible in the pictures below. It has had a Trigger job, Reliability job (Tuned ejector, tuned extractor and polished feed ramp) and the frame was polished. There is paperwork on all this work. It will be coming with a nylon paddle holster, and 2 mags.
I would like an idea what it's worth, as i think i'm getting a good deal but i want an outside opinion.     |

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
One in my area just sold for 700 and I thought that was a GREAT deal. Don't know how much value the "smith" work puts on it and the down economy surely has a bearing too.
Best of luck buying that Kimber... Looks nice!!  |

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
current book value shows $700. in vg, and $500.00 in good condition, I have a custom Royal model and love it. I also don't add a whole lot of value to extra work on used guns, the seller most likely would disagree!

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
If the work is well documented with reciepts and it appears in very good condition...
Upwards of $700.

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
600-700 is the going price around here. The trigger job and reliability job doesn't amount to much since there are only mechanical fixes and not tangible additions. The kimbers I have dealt with don't need a whole lot of help except for lightning the trigger but that is a personal preference, its the springfields that need a little help.

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
if you can get it with the extras for 7 or less you did pretty good

Re: Help me Value this Kimber
That's a nice gun, I've got a Kimber Pro Crimson Carry, 4" barrel & carries 8+1 with Crimson Trace laser grips. I could never think of selling mine. It's been too kind to me.
