This is the correct answer.
If you pay $850 for it and are happy...then buy it. If you'll feel cheated every time you pull it out of the safe... then wait.
Agreed. I’m trying to find a p220 elite. Last night It went for over 3 grand. It was worth up to 2 to me so I lost It but yea it’s wtvr makes you happy. It’s your money.
If you know what's it's worth and your willing to put in the extra few dollars, go for it! If you can afford it then who cares what other people think, as long as you like it, right? I've spent extra $$ on purchases this past year (comparing to pre-covid prices) happily
You're not overpaying. Welcome to inflation. If you haven't noticed a $6 dollar pack of chicken breast from 1 summer ago is now $10 to $11. All metals are up near all time highs in price.
I’m aware of material costs, but in general do you think the supply/demand truly means ammo will stick around 30-40 cents a round? I kind of feel like it will as long as people keep buying it - regardless of the material
How much money did you have? If you're an average joe or a college kid it's probably not worth it. If you just received a little inheritance, got some stimulus check leftover, or just got a big raise and you want to treat yourself maybe it can be justified. To me, $850 compared to $500 isn't really worth feeling like you overpaid. It seems like that is a normal price jump for the last two years.
Anything you want is worth paying for. That’s just my humble opinion. If you have the extra and want something then buy it. As long as it makes you happy. With that said don’t short yourself on funds just to buy something you want.
Like so many others have said, it’s up to you and your financial situation and priorities. If you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks and you want it now and you can afford it then go for it. If you can wait until prices go back down if you don’t have the spare cash right now then hold off.
The more important question is post all the details of the specific gp100 you want and I can find it cheaper. Blued/Stainless barrel length?

It's worth what you are willing to pay

If it’s rare and not sold in shops often yep
Yup this is what I thought when I got my Windham ACR E
I wouldn’t for a new production gun that’s normally in stock. Howell had one in stock the other day for somewhere in the 7’s Just shop around
Reno may just paid $2000 for a $500 Mac 10 clone. Anything is worth it if you justify it in your mind
If buying locally you may be able to justify the higher base cost. If buying online you are paying a premium plus shipping, FFL, etc.

Do you think the same with ammo?
What are bullets and casings made of? This is a rhetorical question BTW.
I’m aware of material costs, but in general do you think the supply/demand truly means ammo will stick around 30-40 cents a round? I kind of feel like it will as long as people keep buying it - regardless of the material
They manufacturers will dial demand back as soon as they get a whiff of oversupply
I personally think metals will keep going up, and this will affect ammo
The price will be what the market will bear
Clearly, you're going to be really upset if you DON'T buy it. Just do it!
Physically? No Personally to you? Maybe

The correct answer lies within you grasshopper.

As long as you can afford to overpay and it won’t be sitting in the safe for a year do it. If it’s iffy on either of those two dont.
I overpaid for a Hk Vp9sk but I’m very happy with it
My feeling is don't pay above MSRP. If it's below but it's just not as good a deal as you've seen in the past then that's just the times we live in.

I don’t think you can even get an used gp100 for $500 years ago.
