Have the PGXL got to the second hand market yet.

I know this will sound as a crazy question for almost everybody, but I was wondering if the PGXL has been seen in the second hand (Used) market?. I’ve not seen any ad or post with one in any of the usual networks.
For hams like myself (living outside the US and with certain budget constraints) is something we look up to normally. That was how I got to my current 6300, the Palstar HF autotuner (hit a jackpot with that) and my Acom 600.

    Wow,   I have had my PGXL for 6 months. Did a $%### lot of research before buying. It is my second amp (I still have my Elecraft KPA-500).  If you find one on the used market it would have to be a dire life/death need for money or an estate.  Best Amp ever!!.....good luck & 73

    I have only seen one PGXL that was sold used on qth.com

    it is a solid performer, especially for contesting and SO2R operation.

    And it would be even better with the missing antenna tuner.

    It's from the old BBS days and chat rooms.

    I've also have only seen one PG-XL come up for resale, and if I remember correctly, it sold quickly, and for about the same price as retail.  This was back when it was taking approximately 2 years to get one.

    I suspect you'll find that PG-XL's are as rare as hen's teeth on the used market.  I certainly wouldn't consider selling mine.

    I know, but it doesn't **** to be on the look out (I found a Palstar Autotuner, which are also rare -but not as rare as PGXL of course).

    I'm budgeting for buying a PGXL sometime towards the end of this year, even if it means parting with some of my other equipments (Icom 7300 line and Acom 600s).
