http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=327431564
$2875??? What is the X factor here?
My friend has basically the same 94 AE, S.R.C., 300xxx earlier at 6.2M, .357 Mag. with a 16" bbl. His has the crossbolt safety; not the tang safety. Absolutely mint. (better than the GB example)
We watched this auction all week and couldn’t believe the winning bid. What am I missing?

The free market is a wonderful place, When we have enough money we can purchase what ever we want at what ever price we would like to pay.

The gun is nice and he (or she) wanted it. I have paid way over what a gun was worth at the market prices because I wanted it and didnt want to mess with looking for it anymore.

Hello,

Somebody decided that this post-64 rifle had seriously entered the collectible realm!

As George Madis would of said, "He bought it a little early". By about 50 years.

There were two people who really wanted that carbine badly… neither one of them cared much about the final price. I am in agreement with Bob and George.

Thanks for the input, guys. Another 16" bbl trapper just closed at $875.00. At $2875.00 for the 20" bbl carbine, that defines auction frenzy.

I prefer the term "lunacy" 😯

I suspect "shill bidding" when these kid of things happen and usually the winning bidder is none the wiser.

I sell 500 guns a year on GB. 2 or 3 out of the 500 will get a bidding war going that reaches up to the "stupid money" catagory. In my case I can assure you that it is NOT shill bidding. Real people bidding who so far have paid up. Strange but true.

Understandably so, but that still doesn’t mean it doesn’t go on.
