I know I'm late to this thread, looked at an all matching 41 BYF bw today at a certain chain outdoors store. 70% finish left. Asking $2700 firm! Buddy works there, tells me what they paid the poor sap who brought it in... $700!

Where was I when he brought it in? I would at least gave the guy an extra $200 to make $1000.

$2700?! Gotta be Gander Mountain. That's the only chain that I know of that so ridiculously overprices their used guns.

Their store here is infamous for having dozens of worn-out Beretta 92 police trade-ins priced just below what a NIB one would cost.

What kind of avaricious so and so prices a 70% finish byf 41 that high? I couldn't get screwed worse at a gun show from some unscrupulous dealer if I tried!

ETA: Oh, I see that the P. 08 in question is one of the so-called "black widow" guns, which apparently are 'hot' right now. Still, $2700 is a hell of a premium to pay to be suckered by some dealer's marketing schtick, though I must admit, the black plastic grips *are* cool.
