I've heard $100-$150 at the LGS. Mine was an impulse buy and before it was in my hand I never even heard of the 9VE, but boy am I glad I bought it. It's a great shooter with absolutely no function issues. As far as the trigger goes, I'm used to shooting glocks so I'm used to funky triggers and it's really not that bad. I could never imagine selling mine, it's a fine gun for an amazing price!!
