If you escape for less than a grand you stole it, IMHO. They fetch serious money WHEN there are buyers about. Some guns are strange that way, they go in and out of fashion. This is one of them.
$1K is a fair selling price for a super clean used one?
Well, I see the new ones sitting on BrokeGunner for $1500-1700 with no bids. Somebody sold a used new model for $1495 recently. Sample size is small and I wouldn't give more than $1200.
