Want to know what a Ranger/Breaktop is worth?

Uncle_Lee · June-29-15 03:06

Watch this auction.
Can't be anyone whine if it sells high. The seller didn't rip anyone off with this one.
It started at a penny with no reserve.
It ain't mine. (YET)

It is mine. I received all kinds of value information on it and threw it up there for a penny to let it fall where it may. I guess we will see if it goes for 600 or 10,000, it will show exactly what market value for it is. Good luck Uncle Lee

A fourteen day auction? Give me a break. I could be dead by then; killed by anticipation.

45flint · June-29-15 15:06

Should be interesting I have two of them. Hope this doesn't burst my bubble?

chaosrob · June-29-15 16:06

Thank you and nice name. I have a pic for you that I know you will pick up on

WOW, I wish we could be trusted with them in Maryland! I think that's the coolest of the NAA Mini's and maybe the best design for a tiny 22magnum. Im sooooo sorry they stopped making them. Good luck with your auction

It's not legal in the Demokratik Peoples' Republik of Kalifornia except for LEOs. It's not on the approved list & the barrel is too short for the single action exemption. You state you will ship to Kalifornia so you might want to add that.

chaosrob · June-29-15 17:06

I already have that covered; "Will ship to Ca for an additional fee my ffl charges to process Ca orders, when allowed by law."

NAA you paying attention? Crank out another 500 at $1g a piece. They will sell out for sure. Take preorders, whatever. We gotst to have 'em.

NOTL21 · July-01-15 03:07

I am currently the "high bidder". We will see how long that lasts.

OldManJared · July-05-15 19:07

$1300+ and six days to go! Wow!

coppertop · July-05-15 19:07

Every time I see one of these posts I hit myself. Years ago I ran across one for $450 and passed on it. Just thought it was over-priced.
Should have bought two. One to carry and one to sell at auction after NAA stoppe producing them.

The break-top is a great design for a pocket pistol. I want to say Smith made a .32 break-top that was just the right size for a pocket.

NAA should crank up production again. Just keep the price reasonable.

chaosrob · July-12-15 19:07

Looks like we know what market is now

Uncle_Lee · July-13-15 04:07

And now we know what one is worth.
The seller didn't set the price, so, no whining about how much a Ranger is...... No calling the seller a rip off. The buyer sets the selling price....

Hey, to ask $3700.00 + shipping for my pair is not too bad.

45flint · July-13-15 05:07

Still surprises me that that its continues to be that high. It also shows how to sell a item in a auction market. List it once for a fairly long period with no reserve. People who want one will know that its going to trade and will be there. This is the market price. I have a unfired serial number 501 which I think would go at a premium given not that many made it to the 500s. Its hard not to sell it really.

OV-1D · July-13-15 06:07

That's a heck of a price Steve I'd be hard pressed not to sell BUT then again you have what you have ,very hard to replace . I have two of the 300 numbers and would have given my first born for your numbered one seeing I'm pretty much a collector anymore . These pieces will always be one of a kind and as for Unc with consecutives that's just not fair ,Ha ha .

I think that's fair. I sold my pair for $3450 maybe a year or so ago. The sales price seems steady, if not increasing slightly.

theysayimnotme · July-13-15 10:07

I'm sure you will include that profit on your Income Taxes.

grady · July-13-15 11:07

Watching this Ranger also. In my opinion they are not making any more of them so as long as someone wants one and the economy does no go to h,.. They should keep going up slowly. The big jumps are over. I have no intentions of selling mine, took too long to find one. This is just a question and I do not have a ego problem, I am very proud of my collection so what would you guys think the collection of the Ranger, Spyder, Snake Eyes, Riverboat Gambler, 1st edition Blackjack, second edition Blackjack, King and Queen of Hearts be worth? Most have been shot, but very little and in excellent condition. I would never split the collection up. How many guys do you think might have this collection. I have never shot an of them. I just pick them up and fondle them. I forgot that I also have the whole Gold Series, the Case Harden series and the Bright Blue series. I will not be offended, just curious? This will give you guys something to think about. Love this sight. Grady

OV-1D · July-13-15 11:07

Dang Grady you've been very busy by all accounts . That's too hard a call for me to give , my collection of 22's is located in the testing section under 1234 . I've haven't enough time left to catch up to your NAA's . Must be very proud , good for you .

It's called a "401K Firearm Collection" if you reinvest the funds.

That way, you don't have to pay taxes until you sell everything off, which will be probably be done by your wife, anyway, since you'll never do that while you're still alive. Right?

grady · July-13-15 13:07

Mr, Believe me I will not keep these until my death. My wife wants to die broke. The day we die we will runout of money. I told her that is possible only if she knows that date, she wants no part of that! I have no one to let my guns to, so I would sell them if the right offer came along, but I also am in no hurry. Again love looking at them! Jack

45flint · July-13-15 16:07

This true story, I went on vacation last year and being gone I hid my two Rangers in the house. Problem now I have no idea where I hid them! Steve

OV-1D · July-13-15 17:07

Any lumps in the mattresses or seat cushions ? Hiding in plain sight maybe . Good luck Steve , shame I heard the price has gone up to eight grand each .

I'll help come and help you locate them and we can split the findings!

mainstreet · July-14-15 08:07

45flint: To help find where you hid your Rangers, try this: Pretend you are going on vacation again, and need to hide something. Where would you put it? Try looking there.

kingt · July-18-15 17:07

I can't match Grady but how about one early Black Widow and four Rangers, two engraved editions with special serial numbers and two regular issue with regular serial numbers.
