Was at the Pasadena gun show and there was a P30 there for $769+tax and I just couldn't walk away. I was talking to the dealer and another guy started looking at it and I just had to buy it. Now the only problem is that I don't want to shoot it because I have this crazy feeling that this one is going to be a serious collectors item and will fetch top dollar in a few years. I might just have to buy a second one.

Go shoot it - they will be out for a long time to come. Look at how long USPs have been around...

Well, collector value-depends. I'm an Hk collector, so I'd like to get one someday and simply have one in the collection. I just don't see the value going up and they will actually, more than likely, go down in value over time. The only reason they are right now in the $800 range is because they are new and people want the new things. Just like the P2KSK's; they were high as hell when they first started coming out-now I see them in the upper $500's to lower $600 dollar range. Same thing will happen to the new P30's out there.
The only real way I see them going up in value is if the mag ban hits again and you have one of these with two or three "pre-ban" mags. That will definitely make them more valuable.

HK's are made to be SHOT!!!!! I would say that if they start building them in the USA then the German ones will be worth more but other then that don't worry about it. A P7M13 for example that has been shot but in great condition gets the same amount of money a NIB one would. Did you buy the gun because you like it or because your trying to make a buck in future? I buy what I want to shoot, don't plan on selling unless I have to.

I have a USP Compact stainless 9mm, I don't wanna shoot that either because I think one day it might go up in value. But then one day I remembered that it's an HK!!! I should just shoot the crap out of it and enjoy the pistol for what it is, a good shooter!
You know what you need for your P30? A crap load of ammo!!!
