Yea i didn't know if a brand new one like this would increase in value if i bought it and put it in the back corner and kept it for a couple of years. I think it can be bought for like 3500 bucks. Sounds about what they cost new 6 years ago.
I dont' think i would ever drop that kind of coin on a blaster. brandnew or modded to the gills. well atleast not in the traditional since. i have way more than that in mine
If you could foot the money and keep it in showroom condition or in storage for years, it could add to some cost. 6 years isn't that long, but 26 years is a different story.
