    For starters, I knot bashing the maunfacturer. Their resale value used to be much lower and they were harder to sell. I live on the east coast..maybe that was a factor. Is this still the case on their resale value?

    If you're thinking of buying a new Kolar, don't view it as an investment that will appreciate. View it as buying a fantastic, personalized tool that you will enjoy for years. If you eventually sell, you will likely take a depreciation hit, that's true for almost any machine, but it won't be the catastrophic loss of yesteryear, provided you keep it in great shape and your specs aren't too "out there."

    Pretty much any gun.... especially "luxury" gun such as Silver Seitz, Krieghoff, Perazzi, Kolar, Blaser.... etc. You will take a pretty decent $$$ hit if you buy new and then turn around and try to sell it or trade-in.

    Buy used, built like a tank, Cosmetic touch ups are cheap, have had four and never lost a cent.

    Started out with the 90T.Then Kolar came out .750 bore many of the Wisconsin shooters liked and dumped when the weather got below freezing -but great guns for fair weather shooters. But got too heavy for me to handle.TS.750 was the last one besides my new 90 T I still have, paid $1650 new when Remington dropped the line.

    Add me to the "had" club. Had 3 of them. Weight, trigger issues, and service turned me away. Bought all used and made money on them.

    I believe, Krieghoff is dominant on the east coast / north east due to the Factory being in PA. Perazzi too.

    Krieghoff is made in Germany, not PA!

    Hi Points assuming that's the manufacturer still tank on resale used pistols average $70-85 nationally on sites like TrueGunValue and GunBroker right now, while new ones go for $130-180.

    They're cheap new, so used ones flood the market cheap too guys flip am quick for $50-100 if clean. No real regional difference east coast same as anywhere online auctions level it out. Harder to get top dollar locally maybe, but Armslist/GunBroker moves am fast at rock bottom prices. Reputation holds am down still the budget king that doesn't hold value.

    I’m also in the “had” club. Had a .750 TS, a newer .740 TS, a .750 max TA combo and a .740 Max TA combo.

    can’t say the same about making money on all of them, I can say they did take me forever to sell in comparison to other makes. I can also say I won’t be buying another one anytime time soon.
