As more of these become available it will be interesting to see what the price does on the used market.

  It seems that many are only buying this gun from Arnie at $995 to simply resell it for 50-200% profit.

Jim had this one for quite a while.  It is like #101 and Corey talked him into getting his name on the list early.  He is a real good guy and really likes the pistol but he has a big project coming up and did not want to borrow $1000.00 so he is trying to sell it.  Jim is a real straight shooter and will tell you the truth.

How about the Boberg on Gun Broker with the buy it now price of $2100.00. I might like to try a pipe full of whatever they've been smoking.

No kidding about $2100.  I've been interested for a some time now after initially learning about this through this forum.  However, when I had the cash on hand before the recent veterinarian costs, I refused to pay the markup that these pistols have been bringing.  I understand early production - supply vs. demand markups, but some of these are incredible.  It's as if Colt decided to pick up the Pythons again for a limited production run, the price gouging perhaps would be on par with the Bobergs as of late.  At $1350, it's still high but far less than some of the prices seen recently.

This used Boberg sold on GB for $1500.00 on a "Buy Now".  Congrats to Jim.

Somebody must have wanted it really badly. Or did no research and did not know any better.

It's far more likely that somebody wanted a fantastic gun, did some research, and had the cash to pay for it.

 As I said, they must have wanted one pretty bad if they did not want to wait for one.  There are alot of very nice guns out there they could have today and not have to pay a 50% or more premium. It is a Buyer's market.

I guess it is a "I want it now" society.  People will buy luxury items before they even have the nessesities.

I've seen $25,000 Harleys parked in front of 10'X50' trailer houses.

They were parked because they didn't have gas money. ;D ;D


  Paying a small premium for a new item that is limited production or for an item with an excessive backlog because you don't want to wait is understandable, paying two and three times the value of any item you could have by ordering and waiting is just STUPID and comes from suffering from more money than brains syndrome.

People are certainly impulsive.
I've heard of people spending $300 for a set of CF grips.

There is nothing quite like an excess of demand over supply to stir emotional purchases. Usually, it will be self correcting once there is an increase of supply relative to demand.
