Help Valuing a New Production Colt Frontier Six Shooter

Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone can help me figure out the value of a gun that I'm thinking of selling.  It's a Colt Frontier Six Shooter in 44-40 from the 2008 run (so no historical value).  It is blue/case hardened, has a 5 ½" barrel, and sports a beautiful set of one-piece, Munden-style, inlaid genuine buffalo horn grips that I had Chris at Chisel and Plane install last year.  (see pictures)

It's been shot very little.  I bought it new and have put maybe 250 rounds through it.  Most were light, smokeless rounds (Trail Boss).  I have put a few BP rounds through it but thoroughly cleaned it right after shooting each time.  So it has been turned, fired, etc.  But it has no holster wear or any other blemishes.

I paid $1150 for it new and then $350 for the grips.  I'm mostly thinking of selling it because, while I love shooting it, I'm not that serious a SAA shooter and am thinking I would be fine with a cheaper Uberti, Cimarron, etc.

So I'm really looking for thoughts on what this might be worth.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I have the original box, if that matters, as well as the original grips it came with.

Thanks,

Ben

Look at Gunbroker - it'll give you an idea of what others have 'sold' for - not what others think their revolver might be worth.

The caliber's sort of desireable - the one-piece grips - not so much.
