Default Trade me your 360, ps3, macbook, psp slim, n64, nintendo, etc for this handgun

Location: Va Beach

Contact: PM

Considering any toys.... ipod touch, xbox360, ps3, lcd tv, psp (would prefer a hackable version), iphone, new blackberry for sprint, laptops, macbook are things that I can think of off the top of my head... If you have an offer, pm me. Any electronics + cash will be considered. Cash only offers are also considered.
I am looking to get $600 flat out. Or a trade of equal or greater value (depending on item).
My price is less than MSRP (when most used handguns are priced at or above MSRP because of demand). MSRP is $717.

PM me trade offers and cash offers. I am pretty firm on this and will not accept lowballs. I spent good money on this weapon and have taken pristine care of it. It does have one flaw. The left side rosewood grip has a small chip in it. I put tape over it because it bothered me to look at, so that's what is pictured on the left side of the handle toward the slide. It is not a defect and does not effect performance, maintenance, function, etc. It is strictly cosmetic! Remember, this gun is used. Perfect shooting condition, and is not beat up by any means but obviously will have signs of use.

This gun is VERY solid. I have personally shot 100 rounds through it. When I bought it, it seemed that it had never been shot before because the previous owner kept the handgun so immaculate! The total number of shots is less than 200.
This gun is a .45 cal ACP. It comes with the holster and 2 magazines. I never had any problems with this weapon and it was cleaned and stored since the last time I shot it. This gun has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty that is valid for the current owner of the gun, so if ANYTHING happens to this gun it will be fixed by Taurus for free!
From what I read, this model (.45) is very hard to get a hold of and is no longer in production (except for spare parts). I don't know the demand of this gun, but will give it a try on here first.

I will show, in person, for serious requests. I can also take more pics if needed. I tried to get a look down the barrel as best as possible. Anyone that knows guns can see that this is perfectly clean.

I was just about to PM about taking a look at it in person because I was interested untill I read this ...

I spent good money on this weapon and have taken pristine care of it. It does have one flaw. The left side rosewood grip has a small chip in it.
I'm kinda hesitant to meet up and see this pistol in person now. Also, where did you get that MSRP? Can you link to it please? What's retail prices like since no one asks MSRP unless supply is low and demand is high. I have cash money in hand and if all checks out, this will be an easy transaction.

Thanks for your time

All of the information is quoted from the manufacturer website. I can get the link for you later when on a computer and not my phone. Retail price was right about msrp. That's what I paid for it plus tax and whatever other additional fees they add when you buy a gun because the previous owner didn't feel confortable doing a fully private transaction. As for the chip in the handle I couldn't tell you where that came from. I think it was just a fluke thing. I literally have not put much use into this gun. This weapon is no longer produced and is hard to find so I would consider it more of a rare item to find but am not asking a "collector's price". I would be willing to show anytime.

I did try to get the link to the manufacturer's website for the Taurus for you. The site is not working/really slow right now. If you would like to try it, it's www.taurususa.com and all of the specs and prices that I have listed are directly from there. I was able to find the gun from an online dealer for 600. To buy a weapon online you still need to have it shipped to a gun dealer to have it legally sold and usually costs about 100 dollars from what I understand. Not to mention the taxes and additional fees involved. So, all in all it's still about a 700 dollar gun... If you have an offer please let me know. Oh, and as for the grip I'm not sure exactly what happened. You can see in the picture it has a piece of clear tape over it. It just bothered me but doesn't affect the function of the gun at all. It's just a grip. Replacement grips of the exact same kind from the manufacturer are only $40 and I can order them and put them on depending on the sale price. Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you.

The Taurus site seems to be working fine now. I have found a link to the .40 caliber version of the same exact gun. Like I said before the .45 caliber is still unavailable from the manufacturer and hard to find! As you can see the .40 cal version of the same exact gun is priced just below the .45 cal.

Dude. You have a -1 trader rating. I don't know what xbox is worth 500 dollars even with games included either... I'm not going to deal with anyone that doesn't have positive trader rating and can't use punctuation when typing a sentence. Thanks though.
