I feel like some of these grimy dudes when they get outbid just log onto their throwaway account and bid away with the ideology if they can't have it, no one will.
Needless to say, I'd be surprised if the buyer actually coughs up at that price, guess time will tell.
There's literally no other explanation otherwise. Plenty of better Russian sks's for far less than half that price.
Just my .02
