we used to walk to school in 4 foot of snow, uphill, both ways, with no shoes!
Sigh-I remember paying between $275-$325 for all of my 91/38's...only about five years ago. If made from a less common M91 (Chatellerault or Sestroryetsk) they have always gone for pretty big bucks- $1000 range.
Normally I'd say this would go $600-$750. On the gray blanket, I wouldn't be surprised if it approaches $1000.
Man, the guy with that magic blanket has great stuff. Anyone know who is is from any forums? Or is he JUST a seller? I have bid on many an item from him, only to lose. The agony of defeat.
Man, I can't believe that thing went for almost $900!!! I was going to bid on it since it's an antique to duracoat and drop into a Archangel stock. Outbid again!
If you actively haunt MD and PA auctions you're bound to run into him. I routinely bid against him and he's a pain in my side. Usually I don't have a problem bidding against most dealers as they can't pay anywhere near market value and still make a profit. But he routinely gets ABOVE market for his items so he can afford to pay more and does. A very aggressive bidder when he really wants something. Because we both go after the same C&R stuff we make life difficult for each other. If he retired tomorrow I'd say "Enjoy your retirement because I know I will!". One of the down-sides to using auctions to build your collection.
lol care to teach someone how to build their collection via auctions? I would love to know!
