My local gun shops have had the Blackwater 930 SPX for $715, which I still feel is over priced but fair in this market due to supply and demand.
NIB or used and how long ago?

Some online dealers have had the 930 SPX for $572 in stock two weeks ago. Now out of stock.
I am sorry but prior to our purchase I had not seen a online dealer with the 930 SPX Blackwater in stock for several months. I checked daily on many, many online dealer sites.
I had been looking for 930 SPX Blackwater for about two months prior to our NIB online auction purchase which ended on Super Bowl Sunday night at 10:00 pm. I feel that we had gotten the best deal at the current time (and still do). To get the gun to us, winning auction price $932.00, shipping and transfer came to just shy of $1,000.00. Yes pricey, but its the gun the wife and I wanted.
I have seen used and "slightly used" 930 SPX Blackwaters on different sites from $875.00 and up to the guy in Boise that wanted $2,000.00 (his buzz must have worn off and lowered the price a bit now).
I have been back to the big online gun auction site just to see what they are going for. Its been sporadic, some weeks there may be 1 or 2 (NIB) and then they have dried up, most recently as of this past weekend not a 1 to be had. I have witnessed 2 (NIB) go for more than $1,200.00 winning bid the past couple of weeks.
So to put it in our perspective, yes a year or 2 ago under $700.00 would high but since these weapons are no longer made...well....
The price of this weapon is still a great deal compared to the M-4 that is upwards around $2000.00 + now.
