March Chinese GB listings. This one was a bear, and it will likely be the last monthly Chinese GB listing we see unless I can find an easy way to weed out the stupid reserve auctions that close below the reserve prices.
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. "Current Condition" designators are open to interpretation as well, I'm learning that I suck at this portion of classification chuckles1.
(I will update all these march GB posts with averages and whatnot when I get them computed! :) )

120 Chinese were properly sold. I have another sheet with 160 unsold (didn't meet reserve or buyer backed out) and 16 parts guns/barreled receivers.
I'm setting up the auto data crunching functions of the spreadsheet. I will be able to break it down to how much all the as-issued, 1954, Tula, in good condition SKSs sold for in any given month. It's going to be pretty slick! thumb1

But too much for chinese? I understand if so...

I pulled the listings from completed gunboard auctions for the entire month of March Jliu123. Over on sksboards, there was a gentlman named Boomer32 who used to hand compile data from all the Russian SKSs. When he passed away, Blicero briefly took up the mantle until it became too much work. I'm seeing if it can be easily done w/o having to sink too much time into it. (At this point in time, the jury is still out chuckles1)
I'm working on compiling the average prices for different countries, various configurations, arsenal conditions, and current conditions. I hope to have that feature of this spreadsheet done in time for the April GB listings. We'll see how it turns out, it's definitely a work in progress. thumb1

Heck yeah! That's gotta be the nicest 7 mil Sino-Banian I've seen to date. Just an all around nice specimen. Would I pay that price? Heck no, but someone did, and I bet they don't regret it either. :P
Holy listings runningman.
Damn, that's a boat load. Thanks for doing this Joe.
Yeah I may or may not continue the Chinese listings. They are quite a bit more work than the Russians and even the Yugos. I think I'll try one more cycle and see how much discussion they generate. If people only talk about one gun in the whole list of 120, it's probably not worth continuing.

I've certainly thought of going that route...unfortunately, by the time I open up the GB listing, look at the gun, and make that determination, 2/3 of the work has already been done. I might leave out the RM notes. They aren't that funny and they suck up quite a bit of time!
I've got "Bubba - Reversible" and "Bubba - Permanent" current condition states for all guns. The way I define them is:
Bubba - Reversible: It's in plastic or has been dressed in aftermarket goodness but has all (and I mean all) the original condition, original S/N'd components. It has a bipod, muzzle break, recoil pad, bolt carrier buffer, or easily removable scope mount that does not affect being able to put the gun back into as-imported condition.
Bubba - Permanent: Refinishing the stock in any way shape or form, rebluing, duracoating/painting, cutting the barrel, drill and tap anywhere, bayo lug modifications, and finally aftermarket anything with the original part not sold with the rifle. While you can get them close, they will *never* return to what they were as-imported.
I might just cut them down to make "Bubba - Reversible" be "as-issued"/"refurbished" (whatever the gun in original non-bubba condition would warrant) and then make "Bubba - Permanent" simply "Bubba". One less criteria would likely help with the workload.

Is that a t63 sticker? Man I look at it now and it still doesn't pop out to me as being anything different than a std t56 spike. You know those better than I though. doh1
It's only April 29th...about time I finished the Chinese analysis. Any future ones will be done automatically by the CPU thankfully (now that the hard work has been done).
It's nice to see that my current condition grading is at least showing consistency with perfect guns priced higher then excellent, excellent higher than VG, VG higher than good, good higher than fair, etc.
Again, we'll see if I keep up the listings...I may simply just categorize them and there you have raw data and no humorless RM notes, we'll see. Debating where I want (need) to put standard deviation stuff in along with the min, avg, and max. Not really a big need for them as I'd suspect nobody but Jon would even know what that was anyhow (me included rofl, I'd need to crack open my college stats books again)
(http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q647/jelucer/Auction_images/2015/201503_Chinese_analysis.jpg~original)
$900 for some Chinese? How long have I been sleeping? Jesus.
You should ditch the Romanian & Albanian job. They're a small enough market that people can garner their own market gauge in 10 minutes. Chinese is clearly the most popular field so stick with it. You can abandon the Russian one too if the Chinese is that much of a monster to handle. You'll never be as good as the last guy who did the Russian jobber anyway. Sort of like watching Didi Gregorious after Jeter, or any Miami QB since Marino. Oh god here we go...cue up the Tannehill is the next Legend speech...
Dang Kevin, you really know how to hurt a guy! cry1
Truth is, it's the same amount of work to get Chinese with Russians Romanians and Albanians as it is without. Now that the hard work of setting up the template is done, I think future months are going to be much easier. I'm pulling April sales tonite, we'll see how it goes. Hope to have everything up before the 10th!
I was just thinking, there's no way I could do as good a job as the legend himself on Ruskies. I do my best, but it's just not quite the same. RIP Boomer!

You know I love you Kevin!
548 total listings in April. The damn no reserve ones will likely be 1/3 of that total. I wish GB would let me sort those out... ???
