They're bringing around $13-1400 US....easy, minty, used M6 territory. I sold my M3 (EXC with MINT finder--this is HARD to find, these finders are becoming VERY old, and are suffering deterioration--unrepairable by replacement)-- a few years ago, and used the money to buy a mint, boxed M4-P.... both were around $900 at the time....NOW I could convert the same M3 into a very clean user M6. (I'm happy with the M4-P) Unfortunately, a "user" M3 is only worth about $700 US, the "user" M6 about $1000-1300....so you'd have to go "mint to (near)mint"....to actually pull it off!
