Fair price for a Toz 35 M

What would a fair asking price for a NIB TOZ 35 M with Rink adjustable grips (XL, RH) with the original wooden case with all tools and paperwork? The gun is as close to perfect as they come and the grips have no putty or alterations other than rounding over a rather sharp lip where the grip contacts the back of your hand. Therr are probably less than 500 rounds through the gun, I just could not get used to the TOZ and I went back to my old weird Morini.
Thanks,

I did not realize that Del Rio was a hotbed of Free Pistol Competition :-)
My uncle was Superintendent of Schools there long ago - Jack Skiles and my aunt taught elementary school there as well... Wilmuth Skiles.
Now, "fair" depends on whether buying or selling. I paid $750 for a decent TOZ and $1000 for a Hammerli 109 in pristine condition.
The Rink grips should be value added.

I want to trade up to a Morini CM84E or the Pardini electronic. The Morini is certainly the more logical choice given it's track record in competition and the fact that It's cheaper. Dealers don't want to take TOZ 35m's in trade as the market has been flooded. Mine came from Larry's Guns in Maine when he took over some product lines from the late Don Nygord. I would say it's a 99% gun. There is one screw that is a bit beat, but it is fully functional. The Rinks are perfect. I just have never been able to get the trigger reach to be comfortable for me. I don't know what people with small hands do about it. Is there any news of the new Pardini FP with electronic trigger? Has it been used in any world cups? I am pretty spoiled by the excellent trigger in my Morini air pistol, it's so easy to sit and dry fire all you want without cycling the action.
Best,
Dwight

To my knowledge no Pardini FPM or FPE has been seen at the world cups but I could be wrong.
One thing that puzzles me with the Pardini FPE is that is has a "trigger set" like all the mechanical trigger FP's. With the CM84E and the MG5E you just load the round and it is ready for fire. No trigger set is needed.
