The P3 does look nice. The P1 was ahead of its time, P2 & 2.5 falling behind. P3 is way behind.
The tech has surpassed provari by a long shot, not just power capabilities but also the info screen and now temp control. Granted, you cant fit much on a tube so they are fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. None the less, they are way behind the curve now.
The vv/vw tubes just end up being too long, I got the mini a few years ago because I like a short mod, not a light saber looking thing. Even in 350 mode it's taller than a 650 mech.
Back when I got it, it was the shiz-nit. As I progressed from carto's and protanks and the like to rebuildables, the P1 just couldn't keep up. At it's limits with a 1.0 build on a kayfun. Dual coil rba/rta, forget it.
As far as holding value, I could probably get $50 (at best) out of my P1 so there's no point in selling. VH fan, if you feel it holds it's value well... maybe 50% of the purchase price, lets talk... I could be up for selling
The P1 is what my friends use... neighborhood whore that gets passed around from friend to friend
No regrets, I used it for a couple of years and feel I got my money's worth out of it.
