wilme2.  Welcome to the Forum.  Post often.  I agree.  Price, quite out of sight!

If he had two with consecutive serial numbers I might buy them for that price.   ::)  ;D

I own a spf and I dont think the price is out of line as their value will only increase...i had the chance to sell mine for over 3g and I passed...having owned a stealth , my spf is a far superior weapon...the action is much smoother and to date I have not have a failure...dont get me wrong the stealth and the other r9 are great guns and have good action .

Since some here think there worth $3600 they might be, I dont know.  If they are, and somone here is willing to pay that, contact me and for a $1000 fee I will tell you where you can get a BNIB one for $1895 and you can end up saving $705!  ;D

It gets right down to how bad someone wants it, and what they're willing to pay.    ;D                ;D

The action on mine after having the Robar finish done on the internals is much better than before the work was done, and it was pretty good to start with. So I know what your talking about on the SPFs.

John,
Could you be a bit more specific about the action after the Robar? Was the trigger pull smoother, lighter, etc?

The trigger is smoother, and the cycling of the slide is smoother.

I have a regular R9s and couldn't be a happier camper.  What a pistol!

The best thing about the spf versions is they make buying a regular R9 seem affordable.

 If you look at who is selling it, always either LittleJ or P-A G

There are usually 2 of the same items listed. One Extremely high ($3500) and the other only very high (2800). Making it look like a "bargain" They are also from one of the two above listed users. What are the odds that they would both have such a rare Rohrbaugh and be located in the Same town? And happen to list them frequently at the same time?  Have however never seen anyone bid on them.
