During covid 2020 around july I bought a bp-70 perf t2 for +85k. Sold it in late 2021 for +150k in a trade. Bought one again earlier this year tier 8 for +175k pure ped.
I know it's very hard to get a pure ped offer in today's market, at the time that I bought mine there was only people wanting 250-350k for their other weapons, and I lacked the patience to wait for the prices to drop to more realistic prices. I also didn't expect MA to rain down so much weapons in such a short time frame.
This weapon is an extremely versatile weapon and it fits my bankroll longterm and I've gotten a lot of progress with it this year. So tbh I would not need to upgrade for more dps.
It's important to realize bankroll management when you are considering investing in a weapon. This is something that took me years to realize how important it is, therefor there is no point in me getting the highest dps weapons since I wouldn't be able to survive the bad swings and be forced to take breaks again.
This is why I picked the bp-70 perf again, since I can hunt 100-10000+ hp mobs depending what my bankroll is at or if I want to just have some fun.
88 dps - 220+ dps for the same weapon at 86.3, 88.9 or 92.5 eff and 3.6-3.8 dpp depending on setup is very flexible.
There is truth that you'll find it very hard to find a good deal for this weapon since most owners would not be willing to accept too big a loss.
