Some fools and their money! Even at 1000 it's stretching your neck out.
The high bidder's name rings true here. Here is another recent purchase he made.

This is the problem with these gun auctions as I see it as well as auctions in general. It only drives the prices of guns up and sellers think or demand a higher price on guns down the line. I remember when I used to get the gunlist paper from 1986 until somewhere around 2005 or a little later. You could find a lot of good prices and get good deals on guns in that rag and when the auctions popped up online the prices of guns skyrocked. I guess if you've got the $$ price doesn't matter to some, but paying custom gun prices for production guns is just insane.
I myself like the buy now price method at least you know where you stand if you want to buy a gun.
Goes both ways though...On commodity items auctions keep prices low.
The issue we see here is an anomoly on a non-commodity item. Check the actual sell prices of a Glock 20 or a Kimber 1911 and on average they reflect market with the occasional gouge and the occasional steal.
Well, it was a 5 incher, my favorite length (and my wife's, I think). I just bought a 4 in. 610 for $ 700. I guess size does matter.

Well, I would rather have a 5 incher than a 4 incher! Six is better! :D
That done with, that's a totally ridiculous price. And there were 24 bids on this darned thing with no reserve price. Seller made out like a bandit, and I can't even call him a gouger.!
Current Bid $2,280.00 No Reserve! Started at $0.01
Quantity 1 # of bids 24

And fittingly Winning Bidder asshole402 A+(2) :o
An Asshole with money is hard to beat! :o
A fool and his money are soon parted! :-\
Maybe, but to the fool, it doesn't MATTER! ;D
I often go out on gunpoker for a good laugh. I do see some not bad deals go down also.
