Like-new P7 PSPs selling for $499 in the States

[capp325]

CDNN is selling them for $499. Condition is described as excellent to like-new. Do I see an opportunity for a Canadian dealer to make some money?

 

[HunterSon]

I'de pay $650 to $750 CAD for one in similar shape.

Too bad that will never happen.

Buy one and get Questar to bring it in for ya.

youre going to have to pay more to import it from questar than the actual price of the firearm ( i think they increased it to around 700$ to import a gun from the states)

the only way to get this cheap is to have a dealer import a bunch of them in one shot to split the import fees!

i would buy one at around 700$

 

[Jordi09]

I would be willing to pay as much as 900$ for one

Target sports has a few, $1140.

I have read that they charge around $200 to import a gun.......

Well... not an individual gun, unfortunately. The U.S. has taken steps to wipe out large parts of the firearms (and parts) export business... and it is working.

"Firearm" Import Service... :
$749.00 Canadian first two guns - includes FFL Transfer Fee

$250.00 each additional gun - submitted at same time; on same permit; and imported at the same time

It wasn't Questar just jacking up its fees unilaterally. It is in response to a new U.S. Gov't mandated fee structure on ITAR controlled goods. See: http://www.questar.ca/import_fees.htm

So we could organize a group buy, then, and bring the cost down to around $850/gun if we got a reasonable amount of people - that is, if one of the dealers doesn't just feel like bringing in a number on their own.

Questar has made it's business useless IMO. Nothing against them, but there is a point at which your prices outweigh your service.

to get it down to 850$ US per gun we would only need 5 in the group buy if my math is right

 

[azn_hitman]

i am down for $850

 

[mzcloud]

for $850 i wouldn't mind another. for $1,100. I have to think about it

 

[Deckard]

I'd want it every cheaper if possible. Then I'd bite.

 

[Leg]

ArmsEast brought a bunch in last year (or the year before?). Be a little more expensive this time around but I'm sure that it's still feasable.

 

[Max Owner]

I stand corrected and Alex D is right.

Yee gads! Shame about the politics of stuff.

your math isn't unfortunatly, for 5 guns i calculated it would come out to 1050$ ( with todays current exchange rate)

at 20 guns were at 900$

that is if you calculate the exchange rate ( i checked today and 500$ US comes out to 601, 42 CDN) rounded out to 600$
then you add the 750$ for the first two firearms and 250$ each one you add

5 guns = 1050$

10 guns = 950$

20 guns = 900$

40 guns = 875$

100 guns = 860$

so we would need over 200 guns to come close to 850$

 

[heavenIsAlie]

ohhh, 750 for the first two, i thought it was just 750 for the first one. yea my math is way off

i also didnt do the conversion, that was 850 US no canadian

My post was just a complete guesstimation, however I daresay that $875 is pretty close to $850. After that you have some pretty severely diminishing returns.
