A Beretta + holster + "lesson" for $750 doesn't sound like a bargain to me at all.

If the free lesson is 3-5 days with a top trainer, it's a bargain.

If the free lesson is an hour or two with some yahoo, he should wait for a gun show. MSRP for a brand new, never been abused, Beretta 92 is around $650.

Got my Beretta 92FS with 3 mags for $425.

This forum and TexasGunTrader.com are the only places I buy anymore.

I usually sell too cheap; I take after dad who said "In the Stock market and Real Estate market the goal is buy low, sell high ... in order for that to occur, someone needs to buy high and sell low ... that's where I come in. The finance world couldn't go on without me, so I'm more important than the rich people."

I picked up a barely used M9 with 5 magazines with the original packaging + some carbon fiber grips for $450 a couple weeks ago from a friend. It had maybe500 rounds fired through it by then and about a hundred of those were by me.

No way - I sold a 1 year old 92FS with approx. 450-500 rounds through it a year ago for $450.00 with a Blackhawk IWB holster alonf with the original boxes, manual, etc.

You should be able to get a new one at Academy in the $550.00 - $600.00 range. I bought mine new at Academy 2-1/2 years ago for $499.99.

Sort of reminds me of a blued Taurus PT92C (the 92 Compact version)I keep seeing at gun shows over the last 3 years. It's not in great condition, but it works, nothing special about it, has a few dings in the grips.

The guy has a sign "Discontinued model collectors item $650.00" (maybe $695.00 I don't recall)

Every time I see him I mention there are about 3 online in Stainless, better condition, around $300-$350
There's at least one blued PT92C for $389 on gunsamerica now,. and one sold for $200.00

His response "I don't care ... some one will pay this price"

Been 3 years so far that I've noticed it on his table, same sign.... same response.

I'd consider buying it ... if it were Stainless ... and $300 cheaper :smilelol5:

I got my 92FS NIB last year from a local gun shop for $525. A leather holster cost me $45. So unless there is something super special about the one for sale, $750 seems a little too high (in MY opinion)! :woohoo
