Interesting Dilemma, D Wesson for Kimber trade

[TheTman]

One of my friends recently aquired a Kimber full sized 1911, blue, nothing real special, but it's a nice shooting weapon. The original owner paid over $1000 for the gun, my friend has the receipt. It has a few scratch-dings in it, bluing is about 85-90%, but it's very accurate and overall in decent condition, except for the dings.
He wants to get his CC permit and is looking for something more concealable and he mentioned trading it to me for my Dan Wesson Model 14 ,357 with 1 7/8" barrel, plus some cash. The Dan Wesson is about 90% with no dents or dings, just a little wear on the bluing in some spots.
I notice they've been going for around 350 and up on some of the auction sites in similliar shape. Thinking perhaps of offering the Dan Wesson and $125-$150 for his Kimber. Any opinions, sound fair? I just wonder if I'm trading something away that might really go up in value due to them not being made anymore for something that's not very collectable.
Seems like the Dan Wessons keep going up in price while a Kimber, is still in production and I don't think will gain any value unless I have Robar work on it or something. I'll appreciate any and all comments. Thanks

Sounds fair to me.
It's funny, I was thinking Robar, EXO or whatever while I was reading the post - LOL!.
The Kimber has the potential of a fun project gun.
There's so much you could do to it.

Final question: When was the last time you shot the 357?

If you are both happy trade!

I forgot pics. Worth a thousand words. He's also expressed interest in my Charter Arms. 44 special, which I would be much more comfortable trading it and the Hip Grips, factory rubber grips, 2 speedloaders with twin speedloader pouch and a OWB holster, which I'd have to figure out the trade specifics at a later date.
Here is the Dan Wesson: I was in a hurry so the pics aren't don't show how good of shape it's really in. Most of the light spots on the gun are light reflections.
