We’ve been looking for a PHP on an off for almost a year. They are available on the market, but too many sellers want to bill them as super care and collectible. With a boost in the price along with that story.
Maybe they are rare? But I didn’t want to pay the going market price for one. The value for us is as a truly unique reference gun. Nothing more.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered Cabela’s has some they were blowing out at bargain prices! Swooped in an picked up this example. Came with one extra magazine.
The staff at told me they had 5 of them initially and sold them pretty quickly. But two were sitting for over a year. So at that point, management wanted them gone.
The price? $299. Out the door. No shipping. It was local.
Gunbroker seems to have them between $400 and $650. But when you factor in shipping and transfer costs? Hopefully you can understand why we waited.
More to come after we got some more pressing projects done.
Sincerely,
Marky
