If it's truly "as new in box",,,
If it's truly "as new in box" and unfired,,,
I see no reason you can't ask what you paid for it.
Since you bought it last September,,,
That was before the price madness we are now seeing,,,
I would ask exactly what you have in it including any sales tax.
I bought one as a gift from budsgunshop.com in November last year,,,
I paid $285.00 for a Satin nickel version with one mag,,,
The last time they had a few was back in April,,,
They were asking $325.00 for a duotone.
In short, There's no reason to not recoup all of your initial expense.
