This is the third one In a row I’ve sold for over a grand, and I start every auction at .99… so I don’t make the prices! It blew me away as well. The first one was a National cartridge marked example, with 9mm size mag pouches, didn’t have the snap pin but I had fashioned a rear strap with snaps for it that fit the M11…. It sold for 1800.
Then another, in excellent shape, M10/45 pouch, with the snap pin, for 1200.
Now this.
When it happened with the first one, I chalked it up to the fact that it was the first DeSantis holster I’ve seen on GunBroker for the Mac in over three years… and of course, right after it sold for big money, everybody started coming out of the woodwork with DeSantis holsters.. it was like the great Fleming rush of 2022 all over again. To my surprise, the value still has not dropped despite the market being absolutely flooded since that first auction. A few other people have listed them on GunBroker and they have sold for numbers ranging from 700 up to $1800 since that first auction depending on condition.
I’m not surprised about this black one being up to over 1500 right now, it’s very rare to see a black one, it’s a newer example actually, but I believe the guy that was making these died about a year ago, and I don’t think that anybody else is filling his shoes.
