Title: Heads Up! North Korean on Gunbroker
Post by: jmaurer on June 04, 2019, 08:56:39 PM
Boy, this hit me at just the wrong time, so I can only dream of posting images of it here. Anyway, I hope someone here can benefit; here's the auction link.

Good Luck!

That's the one from the Armslist link I showed previously. He finally signed up for GunBroker, so he's a first time seller! Found his reserve.

Well, except for a couple of different stamps, I have a 'few' cry2 cry2 cry2 of these. Milsurp tapped out just past 3K - the reserve must be in the stratosphere.

Like I said, I found his reserve at $3100. That isn’t stratospheric at all.

I darn near put in a $1.2k bid just to test the waters (knowing that it would be either below reserve or I would be outbid in the course of 6 days) but then noticed some guy named milsurp762 had already bid it past reserve.   ireful1  There went my fun!  rofl2

That milsupr762 guy.  ??? ???  chuckles1

Only one other last minute bidder that sent it into overtime. My preset maximum pain point was $4500, well, okay I went $25 past that and then tapped out. I don't want a Type 63 that bad  whistle12 :))

P32 that was you who was bidding on that NK? I thought it was going to go for less than $4K with no other bidders. Always 1 to screw up your plans.

Yeah, I knew someone would bid at the last minute but was hoping they wouldn’t go much past 4K. He wanted it more and/or could afford to pay more.

That’s right, I’m sure Trump will work out a deal with his favorite Korean to import thousands of them  thumb1 chuckles1
