PT Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute.

There are lots of collectors and shooters who are members of this forum.
I reckon we're all "suckers" because we're willing to spend
our money on something
we want...is that right?
Good thing I don't listen to what a bunch of people around here say or I'd never buy another gun long as I live.

Mark my words, $1K will end up being a bargain.
Just for an example, there's a WWII Remington Rand for sale online somewhere. It's in decent shape, even though it does have a noticeable "idiot scratch" and some other marks on it. It also has what collectors refer to as a "Type 2" slide, although it isn't mentioned in the description. You have to know what you're looking at. They're somewhat hard to find. Some people have apparently noticed the slide, because this pistol will
definitely sell for well over $1600, because it hasn't even closed yet.
There's no telling just
what might come up among all these CMP pistols.
