bidding war on inexpensive revolver
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/857724844
This is up to $256 <smh> they sold new for $120 including a .22 mag cylinder all day long when they were being imported. And I get there's been a lot of inflation since then but it's still not all that. I was watching it because the first handgun I ever bought in a shop was this model. I shot it so much the sear is worn and it won't stay cocked unless you hold it until you feel it catch.

That's the kind of thing I hope for whenever I list something...but it never happens. Sometimes things reach stunning prices when 2 hard-headed bidders go at it. It becomes an ego thing; the actual value of the gun has nothing to do with it. 0 -
I have a pair of Herbert Schmidt SAA clones
One with wood grips and a spare set of Indian sambar stags...
One has a set of nice pointer pups.
Both of mine are well made German quality guns.

It is the fake plastic staghorn grips that are driving the price!! Imagine a green font. 3 -
I have seen it happen many times. The Obama years brought them out. A brick of 22LR in the hundreds. Primer and powders up to and over a hundred a can. Good time to sell 0 -
Ohhh, I see it is a Locusk auction. That explains a lot. That lady usually gets 120% retail. It is way over retail but heck, good for all who has a interest in it. 3 -
I have one exactly like that with both cylinders. It was given to me by a friend's wife after he suddenly passed away. With the magnum cylinder and snake shot it has killed more south Ga water snakes that I care to count. 0 -

That's a cool looking gun. If it's just like,'the gun grandpa taught me shoot with','just like the one my uncle had',ect. and can't find one anywhere else??? Yeah,I'd bid it up too. 0 -
Nothing much surprises me anymore. Beauty and value belongs to the beholder. I watch High Standard Double Nines that cost $40.00 new bring over $300.00 and some $69.00 Winchester ,22s bring thousands. I have been known to pay $500.00 for a .22 that cost less than $10.00 new. I don't even try to understand value to someone else. It's their money to spend. 0 -

Wow $285+. Way more than I would have guessed. I do love the free market, and my country that somewhat respects my right to own firearms. 0
