My PSL. I paid something like $850 to $900 for it when I got it several years ago. A few months later they could be had for like $650 as supply opened up.
Had a similar situation on my Yugo M76 8mm rifle. I remember them costing about $1800 or so when they first came out. I found serial #2 (!!!) in a pawn shop and picked it up for $1500 or so (can't remember exactly, it wasn't cheap.)
Shortly after that they dropped down to the $800-900 range. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
They still haven't got back up in price. No bids on this one at 1K, despite all the craziness going on.

I will say it took SOME work to get mine functional at 99% and I still have a couple of glitches (It was EARLY production run, before they'd ironed out a couple of things that I fixed on my own.)
But it's a GREAT shooting rifle that'll easily hit a torso target at 300 yards... with some attitude.
So I'm down a little in value, but man that rifle is fun.
No regrets, really.
