Price: 499€, very cheap considered the mods only cost 565€ and the unit usually goes for 200€ or higher.

499 seems a bit steep. I paid only 120 € for my unmodded mp-1
Pretty nice unit though. I'd love to hear that mod

The mod costs 565€ by itself, how is 499€ steep?

120€ is a huge bargain in your case, lucky one :D I've seen many for sale in Europe/Italy and often the price goes around 200-230€.

Bumpz!
 
don't get me wrong, I know the mods cost that much, but I highly doubt you're gonna sell a used MP1 for 500€...modded or not.
it's weird with modded gear, it always DECREASES the value, even if the mod costs money of course...

but good luck nontheless.

I was actually looking for one like these
