holy o'cow! that guy got bent right over on that price you paid. he must of been in real dire straits or had no clue to the value.you, on the other hand, scored big time.
my first ever gun,long since sold, was a semi model a. i paid $600,n.i.b., and this was before the ban. that gun regularly sells used in the $1000 or so price range,and a case of 9's to go with it? no need to say that you were dancing in the streets.
my new-to-me uzi is a semi model 45 that i form 1'd to a short barrelled rifle. i'm more of an accumulator that wants to be a collector, so i don't nit pick it too much, but i love the hell out of it.
the guys at uzi talk forums are really good.if you haven't had a chance to check that site out, give it a shot, it's the best uzi site out there.
good luck on your uzi, i'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as i do mine.
editted to add that you now have to save for all the conversion stuff so can fire multiple chamberings.....stay away from the .41 action express though, bullets are way tooo hard to come by.
