PPC 9

It may be the same two guys from a couple months ago that took exactly the same model to $8,000.

Okay, correction -- it could be one guy versus another guy's wife who bids for him while he is sleeping.
 
Well, those guys are making it awful hard to leave my guns in the safe. Although I dont understand the drawn out bidding procedure, if your willing to go that much I would go 500 a pop instead of 50 dollar raises, but that's me. Cant argue with the person spending the money.
On another note a Super K , went for over 4gs, nothing to sneeze at.
Its just supply and demand, there aren't a lot out there , and if your gonna get one , well they dont appear to be going down.
Talking about PC guns, the real ones, no plastic. For over 2 years I have been going to big gun shows in and around the Dallas Ft Worth area. Im talking shows every other week and in all that time I have seen exactly 1 PC semi auto a 945. Few revolvers, but only that 1 and a few of the 1911s, which isn't what most of us mean when we are talking about the good PC semi autos. They are just not out there or at least not for sale. I put a Shorty 40 out and hardly anyone even knew what it is.
Just an observation from this area.
By the way to all you VETS THANK YOU!!!! Have a great day. This ones for you.

I didn't watch it, but I checked in this morning to see what happened. Yowza.

Same two bidders also were bidding on a 5" 9mm PPC gun in that auction, and the same guy won that one also. $2,530.

Glad I don't have that kind of money to throw around! :)
 
I am a regular attendee of unquestionably the best (regularly scheduled) gun show in a 300 mile radius and we see maybe a half dozen true PC pistols over the course of a year.

There is one venue on this planet that hosts 90% or more of the PC pistols that ever get offered or sold. No other venue in comparison even appears in the discussion. Gunbroker is the place to find them.
 
WOW- I know those 6" ppc guns were only offered to LE officers that were PPC competitors-not to regular wholesalers or dealers.
makes me hope my extra 52, 952 blue, and 945 will be good investments as well.

I saw the bidding on the PPC 6" escalating, but stopped following way before things got crazy (i.e., didn't watch 5.5 hours past the scheduled completion of the auction:eek:).

There were a few other nice PC pistols that went for less than stratospheric prices last night (Comp 40 for $1,825 and 40 Tactical for $2,025).
 
Yes indeed was the same two bidders that ran the other one up last time. I always look at the third bidder to really determine value on auctions that have the I have more cash to blow than the other guy scenarios.

This bidding on these PPC9 long slides is interesting to me. On this thread it is said the same two guys were bidding $8K plus on the last one and this one. Seems like one of those guys won one last time. Why is he still bidding on the second one? Also what did this third in line bidder bid up to? I think $8K plus is above the “real” market and I have one! But I think it is not too far below that and it will just go up over the next several years.
 
Ok I found it. Third bidder $5500 on this one. I expect they may have gone more if they didn’t see the fury of the other two. There is another up now.

I think the quoted remark is a major understatement. $8,000 is a little less than twice market on these guns for every single day of the year EXCEPT when these two guys are bidding. That is the truth and that is supported by all the data.

As for what will happen in the future, I don't agree that they will rise to the level of a true $8,000 unless there is no limit whatsoever on the time. If you are asking me what they will bring in 30 years from now, that's just not even a discussion because it brings world economy and the U.S. Dollar in to the question.

It is my opinion that five years from now, if these two guys aren't actively bidding, a 6-inch PPC-9 may or may not sell at $5,000 depending on all the (very important!) side factors* that affect the real trading price of these guns.

[SIDE FACTORS: Is the gun in nearly mint condition, unaltered? Does it have every original item including the easily dented aluminum PC case with no dents? Does it have the extremely rare white cardboard outer carton with original end label? Does it have the test target? Is it being offered by a well known and highly respected seller with a mountain of hi-res pictures? Every single one of these bits (and more) are side factors that affect the price at which these trade.]
 
That accuracy could be equaled for a lot less Lira with a CZ custom shop pistol. JMHO and experience.
Respectfully...
You may not be wrong, but you have absolutely missed the boat on what is being discussed here. We are talking about hand built and fitted guns that were made for a short handful of years, out of production for 10-15 years, will never return, built by a side-shop from arguably the world's most known gunmaker in man's short history, which carried an original MSRP in dollars that were higher than the guns you are talking about now, made now, available NOW, from any of a thousand gun dealers, requiring only four clicks on a web page or a single phone call.

A new Ford Mustang will run circles around a 1962 Ferrari, beat it in any race than you can conjure, will be more comfortable in a 5 minute drive or a 3,000 mile trip, carry more luggage inside, seat more people, get better gas mileage, require less maintenance and have a better audio system too.

Now, go out and find a pristine, no miles 1962 Ferrari and buy that and compare that shopping experience to running down to the local super sized Ford dealer and picking out "your" Mustang from the 43 of them on the lot, the 400 of them located at dealers within 50 miles and/or the one you can sit down and order to your taste.

Do that and you'll have a better idea of what is being discussed in this thread.

I tend to disagree, these are not worth anywhere near 8k. I recently seen the 6 inch while it did have the pc case no outer shipping carton recently bring 3400. 4000-4800 feel a high 98-99 percent with outer shipping carton with label would be worth, but 8k no way.
 
I'm pretty sure the seller is also a member of this Forum.
 
The seller is a great guy and member of the forum, but he is a consignment seller that deals in awesome stuff. It's not like he's got a stack of 6-inch PPC-9's and 952's laying around and he lists them whenever he thinks it'll be fun! :D

Someone owns one of these rare birds, ships it to him and he lists it and they sell BIG. He gets a percentage of the sale. The previous $8,000 PPC-9 6-inch was a different seller.
 
I would agree with you but two recent auctions brought $8000 plus and the third in line bidder was $5500. So I think at least $5500 is the market. Buy one for less and tell me what you paid.
 
Watch how many "come out" now after that sale. I suspect we'll see them now with people thinking they will get $8500 for theirs too.

Sometimes "sarah15/jjbrewst1" actually will have more than one of the like PC offerings. Each one offered after the other closes. I know cause I got one of three. The first went high, the other two went lower. I did not get the first one. :D Glad I waited a week or two as I think I got a very fair deal.

I'll give you $2k in hundreds for yours. If no sale, then you don't have me to use as a data point cause Brother, I ain't buying. ;)

Hi Sevens:

You are a real asset to the board especially in regard to PC autos. I wasn’t trying to insult your estimation of values just giving my opinion and trying to back it with evidence but I certainly could be wrong. There is a 6 inch PPC on the board now. Friendly wager- I bet it goes for $5K plus.
 
It is certainly possible but the market for these guns is a fluid one, and anything can happen.
 
PPC 6 inch

I would like to win this. Please let everyone know to stop bidding on it please.

The PPC to which you're referring (and on which you're bidding) looks to be a solid specimen.

We'll see where things land in about 30 hours--good luck.:)
 
Oh man...jeez! I never get the guns I want, darnit!
 
Maybe the pa is for patience. Have fun with it whoever you are.
 
$5925 selling price. So I guess I won my bet with myself. It takes $5000 plus to buy one of these guns and really close to $6000 or more. Market value.
