I went to the Springfield MA show last month and there were two Spencers there..   1900 and 2200 and both were poor condition. 
   I found mine for a lot less, and better condition on the North South Skirmish Asso. site.   I posted a WTB and waited.  one showed up and I bought it.  really nice gun, almost perfect bore...Ken

Ken S --That was a great deal and I believe I was not the only one waiting to see if you hesitated to jump on it.
           Congratulations!!
