If it's legit, I would say it's about average. I paid $1100 for one that was brand-new and sealed about a year or so ago.
The way I look at it is that it's a full-power 3b laser and illuminator that is less expensive than most of the newer class 1 ("civilian-legal") stuff that's on the market. Sure, it doesn't have a visible laser and it's a good bit larger, but it will outperform in the IR spectrum the DBAL-I2 and Insight ATPIAL-C. In my opinion, it's probably the best value for a military-grade weapon-mounted IR laser/illuminator on the market. |

Sounds a little high, though it is new, I suppose. I love the AN/PEQ-2A, but if I'm paying that much, I'd rather go with a warrantied ATPIAL-C. A year and a half ago, the laser based illuminator Class I units were not available, making brand new "premium worthy," since no laser would be warrantied, serviced, or supported by the manufacturer. I've seen what look like very good condition PEQ-2s go on eBay for around $500-$700. I'd offer $700, and not pay more than $800 since it's brand new. ~Augee |

Unless you have a legitimate specific need for the full power restricted unit, I would avoid it all together at anywhere near that price.
If it dies on you, for whatever reason, you're essentially fucked out of $1,000, unless you have a connection that can warranty it for you (does Insight even provide warranty work on the PEQ-2/2A any more?). Whatever the case may be, outside of really having a need for the restricted unit's power, I would save a couple hundred more and get an ATPIAL-C or DBAL-A3. Just my $.02. |

It did seem high to me, as I knew the ATPIAL-C units were available for a couple hundred more.
Also, the guy says that these were not stolen, but the unit these were issued to was disbanded so the items are now off the books. Sounds really fishy to me. I can't imagine that the government would just turn the other cheek on restricted items and give them out to individuals to sell on the open market. |

If it was ever on government property books, I have a hard time believing that the "unit these were issued to" was disbanded and all of the property on their books got "disbanded" along with them. Makes no sense to me. I'd steer clear. |

If you don't mind going without a visible laser, look at the DBAL-I2 Single Spectrum. This version of the DBAL was designed to compete functionally as an updated AN/PEQ-2A. They're listed for $780 and have the IR laser and IR illuminator and the same functionality (albeit, not the same power levels) as the AN/PEQ-2A.
ETA: DBAL-I2 Single Spectrum |
