P7M8 Colectors value?

[Moonclip]

I saw 2x P7m8 in CA today both priced at $1000 one had 2 mags and the box.

If they are in great shape, then someone needs to jump on those 2 P7M8's. That price will not come a long very often.

I just picked my P7M8 up today for $852. As I understand it that is a good deal. I was just wondering how much more valuable a Chantilly is over a newer Trussville pistol? (1985 Chantilly Excellent condition with two 1985 mags and one 1984 mag with box, chamber brush and a laser sight sorry no pics no digital camera)

Just my opinion, but assuming Chantilly vs. a post warning (read directions before firing blah, blah, blah), I would say that if both were in identical great shape, you should see a difference of about $300 not counting the laser sight.

Here of course is the difference. You will often see a brand new or almost brand new M8 being advertised on one of the forums, which will say "low mileage, almost new, etc. And because the owner paid $1600 for it new, he thinks he can get that on the used market. The NEW retail prices went through the roof when HK stopped manufacturing P7M8's, but the used market hasn't caught up with this. Your find is very unusual. Generally, an internet "good deal" on an M8 is about $1100.


Great find on the M8. Now, buy that Chantilly, and it can be your safe queen.

I already did. I bought it at a store they priced it based on the P7 PSP police trade ins. They really didn't know the difference between a P7M8 and a standard P7.

Both of those CA HK's are mentioned are now gone from the case.
