I was like hmm, should I roll in a few weeks down the line and offer cash on it or get a 1911. I love my glocks, never had a 1911. Just wondered if I could get him at a good price and if so, whats fair on it without being rude to the owner of the shop?

Technically, just because it's been sold once, doesn't make it used. GunBroker calls those 'like new', but imho, if the gun has never been shot, it's new. 500 is a fair price for a .45, a good 1911 will start at 700 and go up from there. I paid $700 for a Para SST (government length 1911), $700 for a Colt Officer's Model and about $750 for my Combat Commander. I have a Kimber Ultra Carry II that was about $1900. Hope this helps.
