GB listings for March, 2015 - NVA/EG/NK/Bringback
« on: April 06, 2015, 03:27:08 PM »
If you've seen the other GB auction threads for March, this one is no different.  SKSs from the big three, and I'm also including papered VN bringbacks.

Please let me know what you think (good or bad, I can take it  thankyou1).  Also, if you are the seller or buyer of one of these auctions and I've singled you out for one reason or another, and you simply don't like it, by all means call me out.  I'm happy to revisit anything in here and correct the record if I've gotten it wrong.  Condition designators are open to interpretation as well.  I'm beginning to see some severe limitations in the VG/G/F/P scale that means it may need some tweaking.

Plain, board searchable text:
Item Number   Auction Page   Description   # Bids   Final Price   Model   Arsenal Condition   Current Condition   RM's Notes

471031670   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=471031670   North Korean SKS Rare Like Chinese Russian Vietnam   9   $3,550.00    North Korean   As-Issued   Fair   One of the big three.  Seller has been trying to unload this gun for at least three months.  He must have lowered his reserve.  He got $1250 less than his desired BIN.  I guess the market has cooled a bit since the crazyness of 2014?

473402258   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=473402258   SKS with Vietnam bring back papers   2   $725.00    Chinese w/Papers   Uncertain   Uncertain   Somebody hit the BIN.  One piss poor photo and two photos of documents.  The second is a photocopied DD-603-1, which pretty much any schmuck can generate on a computer with a courier type font anymore. Being a 1967 capture, I would have expected it to be a 10 or 11 mil /26\, but the DD says it is S/N 92712.  Wrong bayo, wrong stock, something just doesn't quite jive.  I hope the seller asked lots of questions and got lots of detailed information. 

472474098   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=472474098   Chinese SKS Vietnam Bring Back W/papers   1   $1,200.00    Chinese w/Papers   Refurbished   Poor   Pretty steep for a mismatching 11 mil /26\ in my book.  Presentation photos aren't the greatest, especially when you're talking $1200!  It has the look I guess, but I think someone took a bit of a leap.

472155814   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=472155814   Russian SKS 7.62x39 no import matching number   14   $2,557.00    North Korean   As-Issued   Good   Seller didn't know what he had when he listed it.  This NK gun was in darn fine shape!
