I’m not aware of any collector value from the 80s, but I’ve been wrong before. I wouldn’t pay that.

Apparently that’s close to the going rate on the non-import, pre-fall-of-the-iron-curtain guns.
Not on here of course but on GB.

Welp, another one I have traders remorse on now. Used to be the deal of the century before they became cool.

Prior to the fall of the iron curtain the only CZ-75s in this country were brought in by returning GIs. They sold them in Rod & Gun Clubs in Europe and they were highly sought after.
A friend brought one back and went to a local indoor range to shoot. When he pulled it out of the case the owner of the range offered him $600 for it. That was huge money back then.
I’ve got one that I was thinking about selling is the reason I was looking them up.
I don’t think that it’s something to sell locally but rather to a national audience.

From experience, you have something higher end, you'll move it for a good price on the national level compared to trying to move it local area.

I picked up the modded CZ 75B that was forsale a week ago because I've been looking for one. Bought two more proper Mags for it, it's an excellent range shooter.

Got a couple (9mm & .40); they're good shooters but I would never pay that kind of money for one.

From my research, it’s the collectibility of the non-imports that’s driving the high prices but I’m still learning.
I was hoping someone on here kept up with them.

It's a cool item ya have there. You should make an account on the CZ forum and go ask around there. They'll tell ya all you need to know.
I have a SP-01 Phantom that's the polymer version but with DA/SA, a light rail, and decocker. It too may be rare at some point as I heard they quit importing them so they could focus on the Czech army's contract for it as thier official sidearm. That was a good while back tho and they may be back to being sold again. It's the pistol I shoot best of all I own. So much so its my nightstand gun choice of all the ones I own.
I plan to even buy a few CZ AR grip panels for ARs when I get the chance. I plan to get a metal CZ75 one day too eventually so I can use some of the cool grip panels they sell.
Cool guns tho, good luck bud

Das Hugh, that’s a great idea. Thanks.
