Going rate for lightly used Merkel ?

I have been looking around, and it seems with the poor economy dealers are selling new Merkel 470's for dealer price-so they don't have their inventory tied up in hard to move doubles-maybe Cabela's will end up with all of them!.

So, If I can buy a new 140-2 which I think is the one with game scenes engraved(love that) for $9.5K(maybe less), what is a reasonable price for a slightly used model??

The model with the game sceens is the Safari model 140-2.1 . The 140-2 is the standard Safari model!

The 140-2.1 game sceens are a $1000.oo premium,over the standard 140-2 and is not very well done.

On Guns Intl, Classic Arms has had one in 500 NE for quite some time at $8,995 unfired. Might take a lower offer...nice looking rifle. It is item 100079983.
