Future value of Vector UZI carbine?

[toolmaker]

Back last year as the "ban" died I bought a new Vector UZI carbine (Group Ind receiver, semi-auto) with the folding stock. Enjoyed it a great deal, and put several hundred rounds thru it before my interests changed. Is now a safe queen. A friend may be interested in it since he can shoot pistol calibers only, at the indoor range he frequents. I still admire the gun a great deal, but if I sold it it would free up cash for other fun stuff. Now in years gone by, I've rationalized selling off stuff for the same reasons and now regret the choices because the value of something I sold has gone up and availability has gone down. What's the future value of the UZI anyone care to speculate?

I'd expect that the Group Rec. gun will be worth less than the IMI receivered Vector guns.

In the event that they stop getting made (when Vector finally runs out of parts), I'd expect value somewhere between the Norincos and the IMIs. In real dollars, if production stopped tomorrow, I'd expect prices to stabilize in the 800-900 range.

Keep in mind that I've sold the Vector guns *faster* than I can get them from Vector here at the shop, and *always* above MSRP - again, supply and demand.
