Citations for collector's value from COI

Placing this here since I have a COI with the cited source: Speaking to the value on the collector's market, there are 2 listings in this list from GunBroker.com: https://www.gunbroker.com/c/article/21-most-expensive-guns-sold-on-gunbroker-in-april-2024/ Item #16: Sold for $24,075.00 USD on 7 April 2024, and item #2 sold for $46,125.00 (also on 7 April 2024).

Thanks for doing this. But it's not clear what change to the article text you're asking for (if any)? I'm assuming there's either a text change you're looking for, or adding an additional citation, into the Collector Value section? ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 22:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply! I've been adding these to various gun model pages in case it was of any interest to other editors who felt it may add to the article.

In this case, there are values listed under ==Collector interest== that align with what I provided, but they are not cited:

"An original Colt Model 1921 A or AC, Model 1927 A or AC, Model 1928 Navy A or AC, properly registered in working condition with original components can easily fetch from US$25,000 to $45,000+ depending on condition and accessories." LoVeloDogs (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of changing the wording that you used. I also have concerns about the relevancy of the information but I've left it in with a tag for now since there is a collectors market for Thompsons. pedanticLoser 🗯️ 02:17, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Got it, added. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 04:48, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
