New guy here w/ a new guy question. I am WTS my 3 digit R9 that I bought new/unfired several years back.
I have shot LESS than 50 rds. thru it & need help in determining a sale price. The case, owners manual & warranty card
may have been discarded as I am unable to locate them today. Will post a pic. certainly w/ my ad & would grade this a 9 on a 1-10 scale w/ 10 being NIB.
So what do you fellas think about a fair market value?
-
Agile. Welcome to the Forum. Well, on the price, would depend on how early the 3 digit serial no. is and whether or not it has the "R" prefix, for me. Sounds like you have a real gem here.
-
Welcome. I am very interested to know more details. Anyway to post pics?
-
Thx. for the welcome, meant to get registered here last year but ........
I've got this in my safe @ the ranch & will be picking it up Tu/Wed to
shoot a pic. for the ad. I can answer the other questions then as I
candidly don't recall the ser # nor the "R" prefix answer. Will post the
answers here in this thread & the pic will just go in the ad. Sorry fellas
re. the lack of recall, will plead my age (56) on this one.
-
I quite understand, and like to use Richard's (another Forum member) definition of the problem. SOMETIMERS. :)
-
kjtrains I picked up the acronym CRAFT from mi amigo Pat Rogers.
Damn if it doesn't ring more true every day & not whining as this issue sure beats the alternative.
-
If you want to sell it to me $800 if someone else is buying it at least $1200 ;D ;D
Welcome to the group.

Is CRAFT an advanced stage of CRS?
-
Absolutely tracker, we're on the same page here.

Agile. You got that right, for sure! ;D

Agile:
At 56, you should just about be hitting full stride. As I recall mine, it was what the Sinatra song termed, "a very good year." 8)
Welcome!

Like everyone else has mentioned the pistols value can vary alot depending on just what ya got. Can't wait to see it and jump in with an offer... :D

Corey,
Remember what you said, "If you can't eat it you can't buy it" ;D

A little more info. now on my R9. It has a black frame w/ a matte grey slide, CF factory grips & the ser # is R 896.
Have also confirmed the box, docs, 2nd mag. & spare spring have all vanished. As mentioned above it has LESS
than 50rds. down range & would rate a conservative 8.5-9 on a 1-10 scale. I hope to have the ad w/ a pic. posted
by Fr. With this additional information can any of you SMEs help w/ a fair market range of value?
-
Prices are based on no box, papers, mag etc...
IMVHO I think you are looking at around 1075-1150 if you sell the gun with the CF grips.
If you sell the CF grips alone you will get around 300 to 350 if they are in near mint shape.
If you sell the R9 without the CF grips you will get around 825 to 900 IMO.
Good luck!!!
-
CCW's estimate of the value seems right on the mark to me.
-
CCW. I agree as well. Your estimate on Agile's R9 seems to be right on. :)
-
I'm going to put a little less on its value @ $900 - $950
because
1) R9 without sights just dont bring as much money and are harder to sell
2) Black frame two tone guns dont bring nearly as much as a gray or silver frame carbon fiber gun (unless its a stealth with CF grips witch are seldom found for sale)
3) The NO box, 2nd mag, paperwork thing
Although I have bought quite a few Rohrbaugh pistols and watch the auction sites like a halk for them these are only my opinions and I am wrong quite often.
-
Corey,
I think from a buying selling prospective I would have to go with your estimate, because of your experience in that area.
But in the words of P. T. Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute"
and you may find someone who will grossly overpay.

"SME"...must be a MIL channels kind of guy..don't see that too often...
And just for the record, I would lean to more of "what Cory said" based upon the criteria mentioned. So maybe a price right in the "middle" of the spread could yield some fruit. You could always lower it if need be. Aim high I say. I would also consider throwing it up on GB as well. There are a lot of perps out there that "pay" without knowledge. The members here are obviously very knowledgable on these and will know the actual worth....as they say, every item has a price that "desire" will dictate. My two cents worth...
-
Thx for all the feedback so far fellas, it's been helpful. Spoke w/ Rohrbaugh today & I could replace the case, docs & mag for $55.
I'm not going this route & certainly not going to separate the CF grips, selling as a package & also not looking to trade. I will post the ad here,
possibly on M4C or ST but not on GB. Email me direct @ MBGs1911@aol.com with any questions/comments as PMs are a PITA IMHO.

haha, I just saw this. You got me! Well the kitchen is stocked pretty good so I might have to re-think my ways. ;D ;)

Fellas thx. again for all your input/feedback, just got the ad posted in the classifieds.
I hope this nice piece can find a new home in your community.
