I have several se Q versions ,but have found a pe one.
Should i get it ?

Any help appreciated,.

R. Taylor,
The PE is scarcer to find than the SE.
As for should you get it. They are seen off and on on ebay.
I'd have to say in $100+ range these days. If the price you can get
it for is less than this, I would.

Q's may command strong prices, but the Spyder-bug variety hardly fits the definition of "rare". High demand rather than low supply keeps Q prices up.

From what I understand, of the 64,000+ "Bug" Q's produced, somewhat less that 20% were plain edge. For that reason, they are harder to find than the serrated version, but still show up for sale on eBay and elsewhere quite regularly. I also believe that PE first generation Q's (with the 3D handle and no cross pin) are less common than second generation ones. PE ones in colors other than black are very uncommon.
