2 x Phrobis M9 for $200? Good or no?

[Blackmantis]

Hi there guys

I found someone who is willing to sell me two mint M9 Phrobis bayonets for $200, is this worth it?

As far as quality, they are as good as the last one I purchased apparently:







So is two Phrobis in this condition worth $200?

A hundred bucks a pop for minty Phrobis 4-lines is very fair price. Last year I saw a guy selling some in excellent condition for $90.00, along with several Lan-Cay M9s. However, this is the most common Phrobis marking variation. If you are buying them for investment and a "quick flip", there may be a fast $25.00 to be made (if you don't have to pay shipping to get the bayonets). On the other hand, as I read some of your other posts, do you reside in "the land down under"? If so, then I think the condition of the bayonets & price would be very advantageous for your geographical area, since the availability of such M9s is very limited there.

Yep, I'm down in Australia and I very seldom see Phrobis M9s here.

I remember being at the arms fair we had here not long ago, they had Phrobis M9s just like this (same markings + style) for about $399. The guy selling them was intent on how "ya won't find any more in Australia this cheap!".

Since then, I've been on a bit of a frenzy to find good M9s like this. Heck, even the Taiwan made M9s go for about $200 here so it's cheaper for me to buy an authentic one from overseas.
