Forget about the new price. The gun does not come with a LOT of the stuff you will need to shoot limited. A base gun + magwell, sights, magazines is $2200-2300 minimum. Getting a edge that is ready to go with mags for $1800 is a steal if the gun isn't worn out.
I you want to have something to compare it against, compare it to a custom gun from Brazos, subtract the cost of the chrome finish ($300) and add the cost of the magazines to that. A stock STI Eagle or Edge out of the box isn't ready to go for competition, and the magazines cost in the $100 range each.
FWIW, these things are not "optional" or to be added later. they are necessary elements for using the pistol unless you're going to the range to plink with a $2000 pistol.
