bandit12 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I just thought I would let everyone know that I ran across a raffle on two Ruger Vaquero Emiliano Zapata limited edition .45 LC revolvers. I figured that $20 bucks for 2 pistols would be worth a chance, even if you aren't into single action they would make good trading stock. Take a ride on your bike and check them out, they are at;Navarone Sports Guns and Ammo806 E.

jporter12 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 For an idiot like me, what's the value of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I looked around the net a little bit and seen them listed anywhere from $725-850 with a suggested retail of $989. Even if they sold for $500 each a $20 investment wouldn't be a bad turnover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Good luck trading those for something you would want Porter. Those fall into a special niche and would be hard to move for a nice semi auto pistol. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit12 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Good luck trading those for something you would want Porter. Those fall into a special niche and would be hard to move for a nice semi auto pistol. IMOThey are a niche gun for sure but what I was thinking was that if the winner didn't want them I'm sure that a person into that type of handgun would probably jump at the chance to buy one or both for maybe $500-550 each, I would think that a standard Vaquero would bring that new. I'm going to take a chance, what the heck, a Christmas present for each kid for $20.jporter12, what kind of handgun are you looking for?

Probably something compact, as I would eventually like to get a CCW permit. I need to get through this tough spot of work being slow before I can do anything though.

The bad thing (financially) is, we have another kid showing up in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 You could move those at a show for a decent amount. More then enough to cover almost any semi auto you would want. Heck a gun shop would pay enough for the set to buy a nice semi auto I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
