what is that going to sell for ??

 

I'm not sure, as I think by the looks of the great condition, NIB, and the interest already, it might not be close to being done, with one day left!

I like it a lot, but won't be going after it!

I would guess a heckuva lot more than $550!!!

Well considering there is a 10% buyers premium and figure $100 for shipping, it will already cost the high bidder more than 700. Yes, I know it states long gun shipping starts at $55, but I can all but guarantee the bill will be $100.

 

I’d rather have a regular version with walnut than that particular one.
Maple can be very attractive, preferable, especially the ones with fiddleback, but I’m turned off by maple that has black spots in it, as that one does on the left side of the butt stock. Nothing special about the right side either.
Others can chase it.
In addition to the auction fees and shipping, still have to pay a dealer to receive it for you. In my neck of the woods, that’s another 50 for the transfer and 10 for a background check.
It do add up!!

 

Different Strokes, comes to mind, as I completely understand! Heck I knew of a couple guys that would die for some curly, fidleback, Maple! I have a friend that owns several of these dog gone things, and he loves them all. He's got his shooters and he's got his collectors, he said he wasn't going after this one , as he knows the guy who listed it!

You are surprised and a bit disappointed? I see an '!'. Becasue if it did not get free advertising on RFC the price might have been lower.

 

$920.00 plus charges........WOW!

I paid just under $700 for my new grade 1

 

Trump slump 2.0 .
gun prices are down.

 

I don't understand the comments. Are people saying $1000 is too high or too low? I see MSRP on a new (less blingy) Grade II is $1100 and this basically is a new Grade II. i am sure it is desirable to some buyers and I dont see one like this in the current lineup. Price seems about reasonable to me. Not a WOW. I prefer a Grade I over any of the Grade II, but this how my taste go. I have also stripped and refinish several Brownings to dump the gloss look. Similar to what is being done by many with the CZ 457. There are a couple model Miruko lever Winchester clones I would pay a premium over the current model.

If someone played $700 for a plain ol' Grade I then that just makes my case. A thousand seems fine for a Grade II with some features the bidders wanted. And if $1000 is Trump slump price., I dont see that either. Grade II $850 Cabelas. Sarcasm?

 

Auctions typically sell at higher prices. Competitive bidding often produces premium prices. This was imho, not a premium price.
We just got thru 4 years of significant inflation, the dollar has declined in value, significantly, prices on everything are up.
As to why someone paid $700 for a grade 1, i dont know

 

Perhaps because current list price is $930 for a Grade 1, and when you add shipping and a transfer fee, you could be above $700, for a gun sight unseen?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I wouldn’t want that particular maple auction gun @$600.
I would pay up for a pretty example.

 

I had no horse in the race, and posted it, in case someone was looking for one!

Have a Great DAY!!!
