[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1088112, member: 7123"] Well ok, maybe I was mistaken on my thought process, but every experience I've had with people who buy Colts indicates that they want them in original condition, even if they're not particularly collectible. The reality is that I was PO'ed at myself for spending $1k on a gun that I then realized is poorly "finished", and I'm using that term "finished" broadly to refer also to things like the crap sights on it, lack of any meltdown job, etc., and did NOT want to spend more money on it, as (a) it should have come that way to begin with at that price, and (b) my belief that any money spent would only lower its value, or at best, keep it at the same value. So I just wanted to 'turn it' in new condition while it was at its maximum value, and chalk it up to a lesson learned about carefully inspecting and considering before buying, not just assuming "hey it's a Colt - it will have nice features from start to finish" as a given...and I did in fact learn the lesson. :) Oh, and I thought the older Delta Elites were nicer in several ways, including the sights....I had heard that - if I am mistaken on that, then well, I am mistaken, and thanks for the correction - are you sure?
