The biggest problem with PA/SHO is it isn't considered a pump most of the time, just a semi with the trigger mounted to a pump handle. This might not hold true everywhere but it seriously limits sales in some places especially since you can buy allot of other guns (semis) that get the same r.o.f for the same price or less to use in open games.
As stated above new pump with a price below 100.00 that was a quality gun might find a market with new pump players and might encourage some fields to start having pump rentals again. I had my local field interested in getting a small number of pumps to rent but once he started checking on prices he changed his mind as his semi rentals were less than the pumps he checked into.
