I'm gonna say that price is kinda crazy, that is a minty fresh DSDS though. They're only really of any interest as the template from which the SideKick was designed, the DSDS itself is so flimsy as to be disposable.

Yes, DSDS sidekick pump ...

Super light and self destructive design.
Got the semi version and it's about the best pistol format ever made ...

Dave's Scent Delivery Service.
It was originally marketed to bow hunters to mask their human scent from their prey.
The best thing was those scent balls came in deer, fox, and SKUNK!
You wanna clear a bunker with one shot? Those things were not going to make you any friends on the field.

What kind of price is reasonable for the sidekick semi? Any quirks or proprietary parts that wear out?

Hard to say ... They come up so rarely ... Looking to buy or sale?

Any quirks or proprietary parts that wear out?

All of them! 😁
the shear/valve interface is known to wear rather quickly and the valve/transfer tubes are known to split in half ...

The body is polycarbonate, which breaks down in UV light...

I happened to spot mine this morning, so for anyone curious, here is the semi:

Now use it in a game! .

[XEMON]

I will ... And it will be the second time ever this gun gets used in a game 😅

[Brokeass_baller]

That doesn't look as fragile as I remember it.
