No kidding. Maybe if it was actually a rare model like a Billenium or a Steel model. Maybe a Combat. The Elite IA isn't that rare pistol. If that pistol is worth 1800 dollars, my customized Elite II must be worth 5000!

Way to high of a price and although there are WAY more pictures then there needs to be, at least he's not hiding anything from a potential buyer.

So, he wants higher than the retail price for a new version of every damn thing he's selling that comes with the pistol, as well as about 100% condition price for the gun.



Or you can buy a brand new M9A1 for like $600, a few more mags for ~$10 apice if you try hard enough, and the lasergrips later for $300.


~$600
+$300
=900
+~$45 (for the additional mags, if you can find some surplus/cop trades)
~$950

So, 950 gets you roughly the same shit, with some used mags and a more standard grip. Where does the additional $1000 come into play?

Elite 1a models, while not super rare are becoming harder to come by. I think something in the neighborhood of 750-850 would be a fair price. Looks to be in excellent condition.

Vertec grip (straight grip so that 1911 shooters can have a natural transition to this gun), decoct lever



The stupid is pretty strong with this seller, for sure....................

I've been a 1911 shooter for years with nothing but flat mainspring housings and the standard 92 grip points just as consistent, with perfectly aligned sights with no effort on my part, 100% of the time. None of Berettas have decoct levers either.

Maybe he thinks the photography was worth a thousand bucks?
