Guy on YouTube said he went to his local dealer with a very nice looking 5" barrel Kimber in all black. He didn't mention the model, or, I forgot. Anyway, the dealer said no, that he'd had SO many problems with Kimber's in the past, and would never take another one in trade, or sell a Kimber. Was this just a fluke? Or was the store owner just a Kimber hater? I mean, I think Kimber is now the biggest maker of 1911's in America now? I LUST after owning a SS Raptor II !! I LOVE how that gun looks! But buying a $1200.00 gun that loses tremendous value would dissuade me from buying it. How is Kimber's resale?? Good? Fair? Or, taken to the cleaners? I cannot believe his experience is the norm, but how's Kimber's "true" resale? Thank you! And yes, I see A LOT of Kimber's for sale on Gun Broker, but as people now, are buying ANYTHING that goes BANG, it might not be a true guide to Kimber's resale, during "normal" times. If you know what I mean. I went to our local Academy Sports last week, amd I swear, they literally had FIVE guns for sale! Three hunting/bolt-action rifles, and two .22 cal. revolvers. THAT was it! Couldn't believe it! Was truly shocked. Bass Pro Shop was well stocked, except AR's, and home defense type shotguns. PLENTY of Kimber's, except the SS Raptor I want to buy. : (
Said it would be months before they get another one in. : ((( No new SS Raptors on Gun Broker that I've seen either.
Thanks all!
