Rev, the classifieds here generate fairly low traffic and do not seem to bring full market price on some items including P95's. What items sell for here in fixed price ads, on a relatively low traffic forum classified section, do not indicate a true market value. Sorry, but they just don't. BTW the last P95DC I posted in the classifieds for sale here was for $300. NO box or paperwork, 1 mag. Sold in 3 minutes. Literally. And the last one I bought here was a KP95DPR15 and I paid $350 for it.
Also, there are regional price differences just as there is with real estate, cars, groceries, gas, etc. When it comes to guns all of the regional price differences disappear when using resources such as Gunbroker. I personally list a few items here and if they don't sell here they end up on Gun Broker and usually bring more than what I had them listed here for.
Also Rev, I'm not sure what CDNN's price in 2007 has to do with 2015 prices? Nationally, P gun prices are way up Rev. Against all of your wisdom I bought every clean Decock only P gun I could find and afford starting around 2007 when they were discontinued. My experience has always been that when a company stops making something good [decock only P guns] price and demand will increase.
Recently I have been leaning out my gun collection quite a bit in order to finance other adventures, the last 5 metal framed P guns that I have sold on Gunbroker have all closed well north of $400. Rev, one of your personal favorites [the P91DC] just sold for $500.

And these are ALL penny start auctions with no Reserve. In other words, its what buyers are ACTUALLY paying. These were sold on Gunbroker with a national audience, not sitting on a bottom shelf in some depressed city. Those are the real world prices Rev. Not my fantasy land or your circa 2007 pricing.
I remember when you used to tell me that you could buy LNIB P guns all day long for $200 when they were selling on Gunbroker for $300. I told you then that you should get your FFL and start selling them for a profit on Gunbroker. Your response was that you could not be bothered to only make $100[50%]. Well now you would be at 100-150% profit on those lousy, good for nothing, P shooters. Are those margins still not worth your time Rev?
I'm sorry you missed the boat Rev. But according to you its still parked in your area, so its not too late.
You and the other haters can keep posting on the Ruger Forum about passing up $200 p guns for more ammo or a "better" gun all you want, I'll be at the bank :wink:
