People who have them are asking what the market will bear. People can buy, not buy, or hope that something like this comes along so they can build their own for less than the market is for complete magazines.

They must be popular due to the prices. The funny thing is I've only ever seen one 10mm in person, and it's the 1066 that I bought. I've never seen someone shooting one at the huge range I'm a member at, nor do I know anybody besides myself that owns one.
I recall reading on here that over 50,000 10mm 3rd gens of all models were made. They certainly are the hardest-to-find-somewhat-common-gun ever it seems. I also have a like new 4566 that I got in a private sale along with 5 magazines. I gave less than half of what I paid for that 1066. With the five .45 mags factored in at market prices, I got the 4566 for $200.
