$32.99 sounds like original MSRP when they were still being made. Even without the box, I would have given that any day.
I don't blame you at all. Our local gun store had several models at one point which were roughly 30% off or more--i.e. OHT for $55; Signal for $75. At the time, I didn't have the money, so I didn't buy any. Our local army surplus store had a Surge for $100. Couldn't afford it then, but waited about 3-4 years; and the store was being merged into the pawn shop the guy who ran the place also owned. I ended up walking out the door with it for $49.
