As a side note: within the last year I know a guy who picked up a NIB SP1 for $1000 flat in a private sale and another guy who did some handy work for an old timer who thanked him by giving him an SP1 (fired with no box, but in perfect shape). The second guy had no idea what he had and was complaining about the fixed carry handle.
