[CAUT] Selling Used P22s; was Position Announcement

[tannertuner]

I may have been misleading. What I meant was that the $5500 is roughly equivalent inflationary dollars - what current price would be equivalent to the original sale price. We're not trying to sell it for that price. But we're not getting any takers at slightly more than half that either, and it's literally like new, and not made in China.
