According to a book of 2007 prices, your price is low. At that time the value for excellent grade was $450, and very good was $350. Prices have only gone up since then but I do not know you gun (don't own one). I think you would have to add at least $100 to move the 2007 prices to 2014.

Once you set your price, you might well sell it here. I am not in the market and have no dog in the hunt so just curious about why you would not sell it here if you get a fair price?

Nice looking scope - you are keeping that, right?

Dana, thank you for your input.
In all honesty the rifle is probably in very good condition rather than excellent like I originally posted.
Excellent condition I would imagine is like NIB condition, where this rifle has 2 very tiny chips on the receiver, but the stock is in excellent condition.
The reason for not selling here is that I do not want the hassle and cost of shipping and FFL fees.
I would prefer to sell locally where there is cash exchange and hand over the rifle.
As for the scope, I would probably sell with the rifle for an additional $40.00. The scope is very clear but it is just an older Tasco 3x9x40

 

If you are buying to keep and use for a shooter, I would pass on it. I bought one cheap that needed a little work and once I got it working, got rid of it on a trade.

There is another thread here that discusses this rifle and the concensus is they are not reliable and just average shooters. YMMV

 

Here is the thread I am refering to:

Based on the pictures you provided, you have the semi-auto Stagecoach carbine model.

 

I would gladly give $300 for one like it.

 

They were made in the late 50's early 60's for Colt, by a subcontractor named Jefferson Manufacturing Co. Colt terminated production in the early 60's. And got out of the longgun business.

Although they are Colts. Not a heck of a lot collector interest in them. Unless NIB with all original documentation and accessories.

If you can get a quick $300 out of it without any hassle, go for it. Because of the Colt name, folks tend to thing they are a lot more valuable.

You sure you are not referring to the older Colteer that was a bolt action?

 

The semi guns are 1964-1976 products. I have had more than one. My dad has a mint Colteer he bought new in about 1972. I believe he got it at Western Auto.

 

Those years sound right.

 

I forgot to mention, the semi Colts are just rebadged Hawthorne 880 rifles.
