100th anniversary Colt 1911, one of a kind, how high will it go?

At 67000 already this thing is a work of art. So how high will it go?
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

That's a nice Colt, but personally I'd rather have one of these.

The bid went up 640.00 since this morning when I first looked at it.
The price of a good shooter!

82,625.00 and 9 days to go!

I wondered if it would hit 6 figures. Might be some "ambush" bidders out there though.

$83,025 I thought for sure it would go over $100,000.
