I had one for several years. I got as new in the box. I got it in one of my better trades. The owner took it down to clean it and lost the safety spring and detent ball on the end. He never found the part and it sat for 20 years. He gave it to his son in law who could not find the part.

I had bought a NIB Harris bipod at an estate sale for 75 or 85 cents. It sat for a long time too.

He was trying to sell it for enough to buy a Harris bipod for his sniper rifle. Trade happened. I put a Colt spring and detent in it.

It was a 9mm. I truly liked it. I took it and others to a gun show. I put 300 on it and the 1st guy who asked to see it collected them. He did not blink, gave me 3 hundred and moved on.

I bought a Ruger 7.5 in 357 for 150 and sold it in a few minutes for about 275. I ended up finding a sw I liked and was into it cheaply.

I miss the gun it was handy to pack and carry in the suitcase. One of my better trade days.

It off set the days where I overpaid for one. Lots of days like this.
