In NH, I have my reserve set at what it cost me to pick this one up, ( $315 ) so I'll at least get my money back, I hope. I picked this up yesterday and would be keeping it for myself had I not bought a new Walker this week from Taylor's! I sort of don't want to see it sell, but I used my money that was set aside for a 1911 to get this Walker! So, I hope someone buys it!!
If anyone would like, I can email more pictures, there's a scratch by the wedge and some light scratches on the cylinder. Grip and backstrap are flawless, loading lever latch a little loose, but can be tightened up. This is unfired, a nice charcoal blue color and includes the box and all papers from Cabelas, 1995.

I will consider trades too.

I hate to rain on your parade but Midway is selling them brand new in their March flyer for $349.99.

I just bought my new Walker from Taylor's last week for $370, Midway might be clearing out old stock and making room for the new higher prices. Uberti just raised MSRP of the Walker last week to $429. I'd expect the average price to soon be around $375 for a Walker.
This one I'm selling is unfired and from Cabelas, who sells them for $400. They have different criteria for their Uberti imports, Char blue, better case colors, better out of the box action and fit.
I picked up this one for $300 last week and will let it go for about the same if needed. If it doesn't sell, then....I get to have 2 Walkers!!! :D

Well i hate to say it but i guess you will have two WALKERS. As id only pay top dollar for a WALKER that is new. even though uberti just raised their prices. You can still get one almost anywhere in the low 300's. Then with them being on sale. As for moving old stock to get new ones. Dosent make sense this is a revolver made in 1847. Uberti has not changed anything and no one expects them to. So chances of the new one being different is slim to none. Only thing that is driving prices on imports is the economy. Just check the current value of the euro versus the dollar. Until the dollar makes a steady hold over the euro all imported prices are going to go up. As americans we need to focus on buying european imports at the lowest price and focus on selling them at a low price. Other wise when the dollar starts to go over the euro again and hold its own. The prices will still remain the same on european imports due to over guaging in prices.

You're probably right, I may have 2 Walkers, which isn't a bad thing, but it delays me from getting a 1911 that I wanted soon.
I know the gun won't change, but once inventory is sold off, new shipments arrive at higher retail and prices go up. I called Taylor's expecting to pay the price listed on the site, only it's now $20 more ( $370 for the Walker ). I didn't mind too much because they agreed to pick one out for me with figured grips and they did just that.
I really like the Char blue walker I picked up, never fired, but has some scratches from the previous owner playing around and removing the wedge. If I keep it, I may either antique it or someday customize it by sending it into Doug Turnbull for CCH and re-char bluing. That's if I don't plan to fire it.
My Taylor's Walker will be the one I use.
If anyone's interested, I'd trade this Walker for an Uberti 1860 Army, CCH 1858 Rem or 1st or 2nd Dragoon.
