I've seen on another forum someone pay 549.00 and that was awhile back and that just made me sick to hear that.I think there has been a couple i've seen lately that have been 609.00 to 619 and thats just amazing because i think they are pretty sweet guns and a bargain.

$ 605.00 Free Shipping on Gun Broker--In the last several months they seem to be coming down on the Auction Sites
As they should be ... It's always been a $600 gun when compared to equivalent guns in the marketplace. I said that from the day they were released, when everybody who paid $800 and $899 proclaimed loudly that it was worth even more than the $800 MSRP. Initial scarcity doesn't make it worth more in the long run, it just makes people pay unrealistic prices during the panic of the initial release, and during the initial shortages. As is being witnessed by current prices being far more realistic ... And totally in line with an honest assessment of the gun compared to others in the marketplace. Actually ... Right at 75% of MSRP, which has traditionally been the selling street price of almost every Ruger product for the last 20 years or so.
Everybody said the same thing about the LCP's when they first came out years ago and were selling by those who could get them for $400-500 to those who couldn't get them. Those who paid the ridiculous prices proclaimed loudly .... 'You'll NEVER see these guns go for less than $500 ... EVER .... so you better just buy one RIGHT NOW if you can find one !!' LOL ....
LCP's have been $279 or thereabout brand new for the last 5+ years .... Just what they're worth, and have always been worth. Hmmmmm ... Right about 74% of the MSRP of $379 ..... How coincidental .....
